Steemit Iron Chef 2018 Act 01 Round 05: Cherry Pecan Almond Granola Bars
Cherry Pecan Almond Granola Bars
Steemit Iron Chef 2018 Act 01 Round 05
The 2018 Steemit Ironchef challenge is here! This year @progressivechef broke up the contest into 3 seperate 'Acts' consisting of 15 rounds. The special ingredient for Act 1 of Round 5 of the 2018 @steemit-ironchef challenge is the Nuts. Any type of nut is possible. I decided to use Pecans and Almonds to make a delicious chewy home-made granola bar. It's a perfect grab-and-go snack for any time of the day.
Ingredients
2.5 Cups of Old-Fashioned Rolled Outs
1/3 Cup of Pecans
1/3 Cup of Almonds
1/2 Cup of Dried Cherries
1/3 Cup of Honey
1/4 Cup of Brown Sugar
1/3 Cup of Chocolate Chips
1/2 Teaspoon of Vanilla
Salt
Half Stick of Butter
Step 1: Spread the Oats
Spread 2.5 cups of Oats on a baking sheet lined with greased tin-foil.
Step 2: Chop the Nuts
Coarsely chop the nuts into pieces
Step 3: Roast the Nuts & Oats
Roast the Nuts & Oats on 350 F degrees for 5 minutes. Mix up and roast for another 3 minutes.
Step 5: Mix the Sugar Butter
In a small pot, melt half a stick of butter and add 1/3 Cup of Honey, 1/4 Cup of Brown Sugar, 1/2 Teaspoon of Vanilla, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon and a pinch of Salt. Keep it on low heat and mix to avoid burning.
Step 5: Add Cherries to Oats & Nuts
In a large bowl add 1/2 cup of dried cherries to the roasted nuts and oats. Mix it up well.
Step 6: Pour It Over!
Pour the liquid butter/sugar mixture into the bowl of oats and nuts. Add 1/3 cup of chocolate chips and mix it up.
Step 7: Spread it Out & Cool It
Once it's mixed up spread the granola mixture into a pan lined with greased wax paper. Press the granola mixture down firmly to be sure it hardens together. Let cool for a few hours/overnight.
Cut & Enjoy!
Once it has been cooled you can begin cutting the granola up into bars. Enjoy!
