Enjoy delicious gluten-free cinnamon pecan granola bars, perfect for a healthy snack or breakfast option. Nutritious and satisfying!
Deliciously Healthy Snacks Packed with Flavor and Crunch
Granola bars are an incredibly versatile snack option that can be tailored to suit individual tastes and preferences. One of the best aspects of making your own granola bars is the ability to customize them with various mix-ins. Popular choices include chocolate chips, dates, raisins, and sesame seeds, allowing you to create a unique flavor profile that satisfies your cravings.
If you prefer your granola bars a bit sweeter, you can easily adjust the sweetness level by incorporating honey. Adding just 2 tablespoons can enhance the flavor while providing natural sweetness without relying on refined sugars. This flexibility not only makes granola bars a healthier choice but also allows for creativity in the kitchen, making it easy to experiment with different ingredients and find the perfect combination for your palate.

today I am making homemade gluten-free cinnamon pean granola bars if you are American you probably say pean Canadians we say pecans so what I’m going to use to make them is this silicone mat I don’t know how to describe it it always turns out fire it.
Is perfection my timer is done for something else now so I don’t know if you don’t have one of these maybe um a cookie sheet measure out your cookie sheet put some parchment paper down but for this one I don’t need any parchment paper no oil no grease nothing are you ready here we.
Go I’m going to start with melting a cup of butter I use salted butter it’s always better salted butter is better so funny I’m going to just use the little de hickey lines on the top they’re not even there they were covered last.
Fine okay I just make a little indentation now I always tell the kids do not cut straight through the butter because you’re going to have little pieces of aluminum P aluminum paper stuck to the said butter and then you’re going to throw that in the microwave cool cool so always unwrap after you’ve met made your little.
Indentation on the top come up okay voila cut through bam so satisfying oops microwave that to melt it to our Bowl we will add some brown sugar one cup of brown sugar I only have my half.
Cuper here chick soysage sand castle yes okay one cup melted butter and we whisk whisk this together I guess you could melt this over the stove top if you wanted to but that seems like a lot of work for.
Me so just stir until your butter your sugar is dissolved voila to this we will add some vanilla teaspoon of vanilla voila and to this we will add an egg now now I just want to make sure my butter isn’t super hot because that’s.
Going to cook the egg Monami egg from a local farmer voila and just mix mix mix com so she’s looking good she’s looking now I’m adding oat flour gluten-free oats some cinnamon a pinch of salt some crispy rice cereal and some baking soda and now I’m going to add some.
Chopped peans or peans so do not buy the pre-chopped peans that is way too expensive I got my little handy dandy Chopper I’m going to put about half a cup in there okay go to Costco for your pecans much much cheaper like a quarter of the price okay now chop them yourself it’s going to take about 4 seconds are.
You ready 1 2 3 4 thank you crushed and chopped going in usually I add a few tablespoons of ground flax seeds that really boosts the fiber content but I don’t have anymore so spread the mixture out in an even thin layer this is a crispy type of granola.
bar okay it’s going in going in the oven at 350 okay most difficult part of the whole process they are ready and you need to wait you need to wait you have to wait until they’re completely cooled like this going to take an hour so calm down and find something.
Else to keep you busy the smell of the cinnamon and the pecans is insane I’m going to set these down and we’re going to be patient okay on before we cut into them okay it’s been a minute it’s cooled off completely okay now you have to let it cool completely like I said um so now it kind of it’s hardened hardened is that a.
Word we’re going to say it’s a word okay so this is what I like to do so you know that I I baked it on the silicone sheet which is just going to peel off check so okay so I’m just going to start peeling it and then I’m just going to slide my cutting mat right underneath can you see this my angle sucks okay who cares it’s cracking it’s.
Cracking okay slide it under slide slide okay check so check soet get this out of the way God my counter is dirty now we slice we slice it chef knife meru and here we go oh yes nice and.
