Ingredients
- 2 cups Rolled oats
- 1 cup Chopped nuts (almonds, walnuts, or pecans)
- 1 cup Rice cereal
- 0.5 cup Mini chocolate chips
- 0.5 cup Honey
- 0.25 cup Brown sugar
- 0.25 cup Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
Step 2
Spread the rolled oats and chopped nuts evenly on a baking sheet. Toast in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, stirring halfway through, until lightly golden and fragrant. Let cool slightly.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, combine the toasted oats and nuts, rice cereal, and mini chocolate chips. Stir to distribute evenly.
Step 4
In a small saucepan over medium heat, add the honey, brown sugar, and unsalted butter. Stir until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture starts to bubble. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and salt.
Step 5
Pour the honey mixture over the dry ingredients in the mixing bowl. Use a spatula to mix everything together until thoroughly coated.
Step 6
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking pan. Use the back of a spoon or a piece of parchment paper to press the mixture firmly and evenly into the pan.
Step 7
Cover the pan with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or until firm.
Step 8
Use the parchment paper overhang to lift the granola slab out of the pan. Place on a cutting board and slice into 12 bars.
Step 9
Store the granola bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week, or in the refrigerator for a longer shelf life.
