Chocolate Chip Granola Bars
Chocolate Chip Granola Bars
- 6 tablespoons coconut oil
- 1/4 cup dark brown sugar
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1-1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- Heaping 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups instant oats
- 1-3/4 cups crispy rice cereal
- 1/2 cup finely sliced almonds
- 1/4 cup flax meal
- 1/3 cup mini chocolate chips or more if desired
- Line a 9 x 13-inch baking pan with aluminum foil. Spray the foil with coconut oil spray.
- In a large pot, combine butter, brown sugar and honey. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly.
- Lower the heat and simmer the mixture until the sugar dissolves and the consistency is slightly thickened, about 2 minutes. Next, remove the pan from the heat and stir in the salt and vanilla.
- Next, add the oats, rice cereal, almonds and flax meal (or wheat germ) and fold with a rubber spatula until thoroughly mixed.
- Pour the mixture into your greased, foiled pan with your rubber spatula. Use the spatula to gently press the mixture down so it is even in the pan.
- Let mixture cool. Next sprinkle and press the chocolate chips on top of granola mixture with a spatula.
- Cover pan with foil and refrigerate for 2 hours.
- Remove from the refrigerator and cut into rectangles.
