Classic Yogurt Baked Granola Bars

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8x8-inch (20x20 cm) baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.

2. 2

   In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, chopped almonds, dried cranberries, shredded coconut, and salt. Stir well to distribute evenly.

3. 3

   In a separate bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, honey, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.

4. 4

   Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients. Mix thoroughly until all the dry ingredients are coated and the mixture is evenly combined.

5. 5

   Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking pan. Press it down firmly and evenly using a spatula or the back of a spoon.

6. 6

   Bake in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center is set.

7. 7

   Remove from the oven and let cool completely in the pan. Once cooled, lift out using the parchment paper and cut into bars.

8. 8

   Store the granola bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or refrigerate for longer freshness.
