Ingredients
- 2 cups Rolled oats
- 0.5 cup Honey
- 0.5 cup Peanut butter
- 0.25 cup Brown sugar (lightly packed)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.75 cup Mini chocolate chips
- 0.25 cup Chopped peanuts (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal. Set aside.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan, combine honey, peanut butter, and brown sugar. Heat over medium-low heat, stirring frequently, until the mixture is smooth and the sugar has dissolved, about 3-4 minutes.
Step 3
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and salt.
Step 4
In a large mixing bowl, combine rolled oats and (optional) chopped peanuts. Pour the peanut butter mixture over the oats and mix thoroughly until evenly coated.
Step 5
Allow the mixture to cool for 5-7 minutes. Once slightly cooled, fold in the mini chocolate chips gently to prevent them from melting.
Step 6
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish. Use the back of a spoon or a small spatula to press it firmly into an even layer.
Step 7
Refrigerate the dish for at least 2 hours to allow the bars to firm up.
Step 8
Once set, lift the granola slab out using the parchment paper and place it on a cutting board. Use a sharp knife to cut into 12 equal bars.
Step 9
Store granola bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week or in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
