Granola Bars

Why buy expensive granola bars at the store when you can easily make them at home? Making your own granola bars saves money and allows you to cut down on unnecessary sugar and oils, plus it gives you the benefits of loads of healthy seeds and grains. While the amounts of oats, crisped rice and wet ingredients called for here are essential to the soft and chewy texture of the bars, feel free to switch up the nuts and seeds to your preference or depending on what’s available. Any type of dates will do here, but we like Medjool. If you’re gluten-sensitive, make sure to use gluten-free oats.

Bake the granola bars

Place the granola bars on the middle shelf of the June Oven. Bake 22 minutes, until the granola is golden brown on top. June will notify you when the granola bars are ready.

Cool the granola bars

Remove from the granola bars from the June Oven. Allow to cool completely in the June Pan. Loosen the edges of the granola bars by running an offset spatula or knife around the perimeter of the June Pan. Invert the June Pan onto a chopping board and unmold the granola bars.
