Granola Bake Off

As I was going through my recipe box I noticed that I had 6 different granola recipes! And I couldn't remember which one(s) we liked.

SO a few weeks ago me and the kids took 3 of the recipes and had a bake off.

It was pretty fun!

Here they are in order that we liked them.

No-Bake Granola Bars:

No Bake Granola Bars

1/2 cup coconut sugar
1/2 cup honey
3/4 cup butter
1 tsp vanilla
4 cup rolled oats
1 cup chopped nuts
1 cup add-ins (coconut, nuts, raisins, etc.)

Cook sugar, honey and butter in small pot over low to medium-low heat until slowly bubbling, stirring often.
Leave on the heat for at least 10 minutes after boil.
In large bowl, mix oats, nuts, add-ins (except chocolate chips).
When liquid is finished on stove, remove from heat and add vanilla.
Mix liquid into oat mixture (Add chocolate chips after cooled - fi desired).
Press into 9x13 pan lined with wax paper.
Refrigerate and cut into bars.

Pecan Granola:

Preheat oven to 300 degrees.
Spray 2 baking sheets with Pam.
In large bowl combine oil, sugar, honey, vanilla, cinnamon and salt.

Bake 15 minutes - stirring occasionally.
Add 1/4 cup coconut to each sheet and bake 15 more minutes.
Let cool.

Pecan-Molasses Granola:

Pecan-Molasses Granola

1/3 cup unsulfered molasses
2 Tbsp coconut oil
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp salt

Whisk molasses, oil, cinnamon and salt.
