This is a healthy granola bar recipe full of dried figs, macadamia nuts, hazelnuts and almonds. It is a great snack and I love wrapping them up and giving them as gifts. —Jacquilyn in the Kitchen

Ingredients
-
2 cups
rolled oats
-
1 pinch
salt
-
1/2 teaspoon
ground cinnamon
-
1 cup
hazelnuts, chopped (I use toasted)
-
1/2 cup
macadamia nuts, chopped
-
1/2 cup
almonds, chopped
-
12
dried figs, stems removed & chopped
-
2 tablespoons
coconut oil, softened
-
3/4 cup
honey, divided. 1/2 cup +1/4 cup
Directions
-
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line an 8X8 pan with parchment paper.
-
2. In a large bowl combine oats, salt, cinnamon, all nuts and dried figs. Stir well.
-
3. Next add the coconut oil and stir to evenly coat the mixture with the oil.
-
4. Add 1/2 cup of honey and stir really well so that the mixture becomes evenly coated and sticky. Add the last 1/4 cup of honey, making sure to drizzle it over the parts that look dry. Stir well.
-
5. Place the mixture in the parchment lined pan and press firmly into the pan, making sure it is even. I like to use the back side of a spatula or a piece of parchment paper to help press the mixture down.
-
6. Bake for 22-25 minutes until lightly golden brown on top. Remove from oven and cool for 1 hour in the pan. Transfer to fridge and cool for at least an hour before cutting into bars, which will prevent them from crumbling.

7. I like to wrap them up and give them as gifts!
