Ingredients

• 2 cups rolled oats
• 0.5 cup honey
• 0.33 cup peanut butter
• 0.25 cup brown sugar
• 1 cup grapes (seedless, chopped in halves)
• 0.5 cup nuts (almonds, walnuts, or pecans, chopped)
• 0.25 cup dried cranberries or raisins
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoon cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon butter (for greasing the pan)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper or grease it with butter.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, chopped nuts, dried cranberries or raisins, cinnamon, and salt. Mix well.

Step 3

In a small saucepan over low heat, warm the honey, peanut butter, and brown sugar until the mixture becomes smooth and fully combined. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 4

Pour the warm honey mixture over the dry ingredients in the bowl. Mix thoroughly until all the ingredients are evenly coated.

Step 5

Gently fold the chopped grapes into the mixture, being careful not to crush them.

Step 6

Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking pan. Use a spatula or your hands (lightly greased) to press the mixture firmly and evenly into the pan.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.

Step 8

Remove the pan from the oven and allow the granola bars to cool completely in the pan. This is important to help them set properly.

Step 9

Once cooled, lift the granola out of the pan using the parchment paper or by loosening the edges. Cut into 8 equal-sized bars.

Step 10

Store the bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or in the refrigerator for up to 10 days.
