How to cook deliciously - Homemade Granola Bars

1. Stage

Preheat oven to 400°. Grease a 9-inch baking pan with cooking spray. Line with parchment paper and grease parchment.

2. Stage

Combine oats, pecans, pepitas, and almonds on a rimmed baking sheet. Spread into an evenly layer and bake until lightly toasted, stirring halfway through, about 15 minutes.

3. Stage

Reduce oven to 300°. In a large microwave-safe bowl, microwave butter and brown sugar, until butter is melted, about 1 minute. Add honey, vanilla, and salt and whisk until well combined and brown sugar is dissolved. Add egg white and stir vigorously until fully combined.

4. Stage

Scrape toasted oat mixture into bowl with melted butter mixture. Fold in apricot, strawberries, and craisins. Spread mixture evenly onto prepared baking pan. Using a spoon, press top of granola bars to slightly compact mixture and create a more even top.

5. Stage

Bake until light golden, 27 to 30 minutes. Let cool completely.

6. Stage

Remove cooled granola bars from the pan using the parchment overhang, then slice into bars.
