Ingredients

• 2 cups Rolled oats
• 0.75 cups Almonds, chopped
• 0.5 cups Honey
• 0.25 cups Coconut oil, melted
• 0.25 cups Brown sugar
• 1 cup Black raspberries, fresh or frozen (thawed)
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 2 tablespoons Chia seeds
• 0.5 cups Unsweetened shredded coconut

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving a bit of overhang on the sides for easy removal.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, chopped almonds, chia seeds, and shredded coconut. Stir until evenly mixed.

Step 3

In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the honey, melted coconut oil, and brown sugar. Stir until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is smooth, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract and salt.

Step 4

Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients in the mixing bowl. Stir until everything is thoroughly coated.

Step 5

Gently fold in the black raspberries, being careful not to crush them too much to preserve their texture.

Step 6

Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking pan and press it firmly into an even layer. Use the back of a spatula or your hands (slightly dampened to prevent sticking) to press the mixture down.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center is set.

Step 8

Remove the pan from the oven and let it cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Once cooled, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the granola slab out of the pan.

Step 9

Transfer to a cutting board and slice into 12 bars. Store the granola bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
