CHEWY GRANOLA BARS WITH COCONUT OIL
2/3 cup coconut oil
1 cup chocolate chips
1 cup peanut butter
2/3 cup honey or maple syrup
2 1/2 cups Old Fashioned Oats
1 1/2 cups Rice Krispies
1 1/2 cups mix-ins such as dried fruit and coconut
1/4 cup mini chocolate chips
Melt oil and 1 cup chocolate chips together, remove from heat and stir in peanut butter and honey or maple syrup.
Mix together dry ingredients and then combine with liquid.
Line a 9 x 13 pan with parchment paper.
Press into pan. Top with mini chocolate chips and press down.
Refrigerate for 2+ hours.
Cut into bars and store in fridge.
SIDE NOTE: After cutting these into bars, I wrapped each one individually before placing them in Ziplock bags and putting them in the fridge. I had heard that these could be a little messy because of the chocolate but by wrapping them individually, we just used the "wrapper" to protect our fingers from the sticky.
This sounds wonderful! It ticks off all my "snack" boxes!

ReplyDeleteThanks, Monica. And you are welcome!

ReplyDeleteThank you for the kind comment on my blog. My daughter is a joy to homeschool. She is the most kind-hearted girl I know.
Thank you, Julia. I have been making some changes here in my diet...just small things (like cutting out the gluten) and it's making such a huge impact on how I am feeling.
DeleteYour kind-hearted daughter takes after her sweet mama. xx
I love granola bars with both chocolate and peanut butter. Yum!
ReplyDeleteThey are definitely tasty, Barbara, and so easy to make!
DeleteThose bars look tasty, great to take on a walk when I go. Thanks for sharing the recipe.
ReplyDeleteYou are welcome, Bill. I hope you will enjoy them on your walks.
DeleteA great recipe that doesn't involve turning on the oven.
ReplyDeleteYes! And it's also yummy!
DeleteThat was a smart way to package them for future consumption.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Ellen. The first time I made them I used Cling Wrap and it worked beautifully but it did make it a bit difficult to get them unwrapped so when I've made them since, I have used waxed paper. Strongheart definitely appreciated the change. :)
