Ingredients

• 2 cups gluten-free old-fashioned oats
• 1 cup almond flour
• 0.5 cup honey
• 0.25 cup brown sugar
• 0.25 cup unsalted butter
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup chocolate chips
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free oats and almond flour. Stir in the ground cinnamon and salt.

Step 3

In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the honey, brown sugar, and unsalted butter. Stir the mixture until the butter is melted and the sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 4

Pour the wet mixture over the oat and almond flour mixture and stir until everything is well combined.

Step 5

Fold in the chocolate chips gently, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.

Step 6

Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking pan. Use a spatula or your hands (lightly dampened with water to prevent sticking) to press the mixture firmly and evenly into the pan.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and the center is set.

Step 8

Remove from the oven and let it cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.

Step 9

Once cooled, use the parchment paper to lift the granola slab from the pan. Cut it into 12 bars with a sharp knife.

Step 10

Store bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week, or in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
