Vegan Granola Bars

Directions

• Over moderate heat settings in a medium-sized saucepan; heat the coconut oil together with agave, flavors/spices and salt; give everything a good stir until the mixture melts & becomes a bit foamy.
• Decrease the heat settings to low, immediately add in the oats; stir well until evenly coated with the mixture.
• Add in the seeds/nuts; stir until nicely coated.
• Now, add in the dried fruit & fold them into the hot mixture.
• Continue to cook over low heat settings for a couple of minutes until they start to stick together.
• In the meantime, line a 6×8” baking dish (small-sized) with the plastic wrap or parchment paper, leaving the sides of the wrap/paper long.
• Add the prepared mixture to the dish; try to spread out the mixture evenly by pressing it with the back of a large-sized wooden spoon.
• Fold the plastic wrap/parchment paper over the granola until the top is completely covered; pressing the granola and ensure that it’s completely packed.
• Place in a refrigerator for 2 hours or for overnight & let completely cool.
• Remove from the parchment paper & cut the granola into 6 to 8 bars; wrapping each bar individually into the plastic wrap. Serve and enjoy.
