Trail Mix Granola Bars

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 325 degrees fahrenheit and line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.

Step 2

Add all of the nuts, seeds, dried fruit and salt to a mixing bowl and give it a stir.

Step 3

In a separate small bowl, stir together the vanilla extract and maple syrup. Pour this on top of the nuts and stir everything together, until it's well coated.

Step 4

Pour the mixture into the baking pan and use the back of a large spoon or spatula to flatten it into one layer.

Step 5

Bake for 30-35 minutes, then cool for one hour in the pan.

Step 6

Once the granola bars are fully cooled, slice them into bars. I slice then entire portion in half, then divide each half into six bars, for 12 total granola bars.
