Ingredients
Chewy apricot and coconut granola bars
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
- 1/4 cup honey
- 125 g butter
- 2 tbsp peanut butter
- 3 cups oats
- 1 cup puffed rice
- 3/4 cup chopped dried apricots
- 3/4 cup desiccated coconut
- 1/4 cup sunflower seeds
Drizzle
- 1/3 cup icing sugar
- 2 tsp Greek-style yoghurt
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Steps
- Preheat the oven to 180°C. Line a 28cm x 18cm slice pan with baking paper.
- Combine the sugar, honey, butter and peanut butter in a saucepan over a medium heat. Cook, stirring at times until the mixture comes to the boil. Allow to boil for 2 minutes before removing the pan from the heat.
- Combine the remaining ingredients in a large bowl, pour in the syrup and mix well.
- Press the mixture firmly into the lined slice pan; it will be sticky so use wet hands or a sheet of baking paper to press with.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.
- To make the drizzle, mix together the icing sugar, yoghurt and vanilla in a small bowl. Lightly flick the drizzle over the cooled slice.
- Once the drizzle has set, cut into 14 bars (about 9cm x 2cm).
