Step 4: Press into baking pan
Line baking pan: Use parchment paper to line your 18cm x 26cm pan. This will help prevent sticking and make it easier to remove the bars once baked.
Press mixture into pan: Pour the oat-nut mixture into the prepared baking pan. Using the back of a spoon or your hands, press the mixture firmly and evenly into the pan to ensure the bars hold together after baking.
Step 5: Bake
Bake the granola bars: Preheat the oven to 150°C (302°F). Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 30 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.
Let the granola bars cool completely: Once baked, allow the granola bars to cool completely in the pan. This step is crucial to achieving firm bars that don’t fall apart when you cut them.
Step 6: Cut and Serve
Cut the bars: Once completely cooled, use a sharp knife to cut the granola into 14 equal-sized bars.
Serve or store: Enjoy your homemade granola bars right away or save them for later.
