Sourdough Granola Bars
Chewy, sweet and salty, my house runs on sourdough granola bars. If I don't have a stock in the freezer then I'm lost. I think you're going to fall in love with this made from scratch convienence food. Feel free to mix it up and make it your own!
Ingredients
- 450 grams Chopped dried pitted dates 3 cups
- 330 grams Rolled oats 3 3/4 cup
- 150 grams Sliced almonds 1 1/2 cups
- 1 1/2 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Cinnamon
- 180 grams Peanut butter 3/4 cup
- 150 grams Sourdough discard 3/4 cup
- 250 grams Honey 3/4 cup
- 180 grams Olive oil 3/4 cup
- t tsp Vanilla
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
- Line a rimmed 9x13 baking sheet with parchment paper, letting the parchment hang over the sides of the pan to form a sling.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the dry ingredients: Dates, oats, almonds, salt and cinnamon. Stir to evenly distribute.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the wet ingredients: Peanut butter, discard, oil, honey and vanilla. Use a fork to make sure they are well combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients. Use a spoon to mix them thoroughly.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared pan. Use clean hands to press the mixture into all four corners of the pan and press down to get rid of any air pockets. This more pressed together the ingredients are, the better your sourdough granola bars will hold together.
- Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, until the edges of the granola bars are starting to brown. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely.
- Once cool, remove the bars from the pan using your parchment sling. Use a sharp knife to cut the granola bars to your desired size. Store in an airtight container and enjoy!
