Finally, I figured out how to make granola bars that don’t crumble when I touch them.  There’s no long story. Just a secret ingredient. Which won’t be a secret any longer.

Maltose. Also known as 麦芽糖. It’s super sticky. SUPER.

Granola Bar

2.5 cups rolled oats

2 big dollops of maltose (as shown above)

1/4 cup maple syrup

1/2 tsp salt

1 cup nuts

1/2 cup dried fruits

2 tbsp protein powder (optional)

Melt the maltose in a pot. Put in everything and stir. Then pack  them into an 8×8” lined pan. Use a nonstick baking paper and press down the granola. Bake for 20 min at 170c.

Cool and slice.
