These Nutty Chewy Granola Bars are a delightful homemade snack, perfect for breakfast or a midday energy boost.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Ensure your oven rack is in the middle position for even baking.
Line a baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
The parchment paper prevents sticking and makes cleanup easier.
In a saucepan, combine the brown sugar, peanut butter, honey, butter, and vanilla extract. Heat over medium heat, stirring until smooth.
Stir constantly to prevent the mixture from burning.
In a mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, almonds, sunflower seeds, raisins, and sesame seeds.
Mix thoroughly to ensure even distribution of ingredients.
Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients and mix until well combined.
Work quickly as the mixture will start to set as it cools.
Press the mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.
Use a spatula or the back of a spoon to press firmly for compact bars.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until lightly golden.
Keep an eye on the bars to avoid overbaking.
Let the bars cool completely in the dish before lifting them out using the parchment paper.
Cooling ensures the bars hold their shape when cut.
Cut into bars of your desired size and enjoy.
Use a sharp knife for clean cuts and consistent sizes.
