Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup honey
- 3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1/2 cup slivered almonds
- 1/2 cup roughly chopped pecans
- 1/4 cup hulled green pumpkin seeds
- 1/4 cup unsalted sunflower seeds
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup raisins
- 1/3 cup light brown sugar
- 1/2 cup light corn syrup
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
Directions
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Lightly grease an 8 by 8-inch baking dish and set aside.
In a small saucepan melt butter with honey over low heat, stirring.
In a large bowl stir together oats, almonds, pecans, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, cinnamon and salt. Pour butter mixture over oat mixture and stir until combined well.
On a large baking sheet, spread the granola evenly in a thin layer. Bake, stirring every 5 minutes to keep from sticking or burning, until golden brown and crisp, about 20 minutes. (Do not overcook; the granola will crisp more when cooled.)
Cool the granola in the pan on top of the stove and stir in the raisins. When the granola is completely cooled, place in a large bowl.
Combine the brown sugar, corn syrup, and peanut butter in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Stir constantly until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is at a boil. Remove from the heat and pour the mixture over the granola, stirring to coat well. Cool slightly and press into the prepared baking dish and let cool completely and harden. Cut the mixture into ten 1 1/4 by 4-inch bars and serve at room temperature. (The bars may be kept in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.)

These were great! I don't like raisins so I substituted chopped dates for the raisins. My husband couldn't understand why I was making granola bars when you can just buy them at the store, so I didn't expect him to eat any, but he sure liked them, and ate at least half of them!

Love the pumpkin & sunflower seeds in this recipe. Great texture! I found it a little time consuming to make, but well worth it when you taste the finished product. I will definitely make them again.

I decided to make this as an alternative to my daily trip to the office vending machine. It's so much tastier and easy to make. However, I made one small addition that I think goes a long way. I added a handful of chocolate chips when pulling the brown sugar mixture off the stove. They melted quickly and then blended into the granola for pressing. Yum!
