The Best Soft Granola Bars
Prep 15 min Cook 30 min Serves 12 Source

Ingredients

  • 2 cups rolled oats
  • 2 cups twisted pretzels, crushed down to about 1 heaping cup
  • 1/2 cup salted peanut halves
  • 1 cup peanut butter (more as needed)
  • 1/2 cup honey (more as needed)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla

Steps

  1. 1

    Toss the oats, crushed pretzels, and salted peanut halves together in a large bowl.

  2. 2

    Stir the peanut butter, honey, and vanilla together in a separate bowl until smooth and creamy. Pour the mixture over the dry ingredients in the other bowl. Stir until combined.

  3. 3

    Press the bar mixture into a 9×9 inch pan lined with parchment paper (9×13 will work – it will just yield wider, flatter bars). Freeze for 30 minutes. Pull out of the pan and cut into bars. Store bars individually wrapped in the freezer for quick grab-and-go snacks.
