Chewy Cinnamon Cranberry No-Bake Granola Bars

Ingredients

  • 2 cup old fashioned rolled oats certified gluten free for gluten free bars
  • 1/2 cup crispy cereal such as a crispy rice cereal
  • 3/4 cup dried cranberries
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil alternatively, use butter
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • pinch sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions

  • Lightly grease an 8x8 pan and set aside.
  • In a bowl, stir together the oats, crispy cereal and cranberries and set aside.
  • In a small pot combine the coconut oil, brown sugar, honey and pinch of salt.  Heat the mixture up and stir well to completely dissolve the brown sugar.  Bring to a boil.  Cook over medium heat for 2 minutes.  Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla and cinnamon.  Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients and stir well to combine.  
  • Once completely combined, pour the mixture into the prepared 8x8 pan and press down very well with a spatula(lightly oiled if the mixture is sticking). Cool completely before cutting into 10 bars(if they seem to pull apart while cutting into bars, place in the fridge for 20 minutes before slicing). Wrap individually in paper or plastic wrap and store at room temperature.
