How to make Anything Goes Granola Bars

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. Spread the oats on the baking sheet and bake for 8-10 minutes, stirring once or twice. Remove from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes.

  3. Line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving overhangs on all sides.

  4. In a large bowl, combine honey, tahini, vanilla extract, brown sugar, vegetable oil, cardamom, salt, oats, and beaten egg white. Mix thoroughly.

  5. Add the chopped crystallized ginger, white chocolate, and dried apricots to the mixture and mix well.

  6. Spoon the granola mixture into the prepared pan and press it down firmly using an angled spatula or plastic wrap.

  7. Bake for 30-40 minutes until golden brown. Cool completely on a wire rack.

  8. Transfer the granola slab to a cutting board using the parchment paper. Cut into bars using a sharp knife.

  9. Individually wrap the bars in plastic wrap and store in an airtight container. Bars can be stored at room temperature for about a week or in the freezer for at least a month.
