Chewy Coconut-Granola Bars
Store-bought granola bars too often resemble candy bars with swirls of peanut butter and caramel drizzles, so make one from scratch that features whole-wheat flour, whole-grain granola, and fruit.
How to Make It
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350°.
Step 2
Coat a 13 x 9-inch metal baking pan with cooking spray; dust with 2 teaspoons all-purpose flour.
Step 3
Weigh or lightly spoon 3 ounces all-purpose flour and 6 ounces whole-wheat flour into dry measuring cups; level with a knife. Combine flours, baking powder, and salt in a small bowl; stir with a whisk. Combine sugar and next 3 ingredients in a large bowl; beat with a mixer at high speed until smooth. Add flour mixture, beating at low speed until blended. Fold in granola and fruit. Spoon batter into prepared pan. Sprinkle with coconut.
Step 4
Bake at 350° for 20 minutes or until golden. Cool completely in pan on a wire rack. Cut into bars. Store in an airtight container up to 2 weeks.
