Homemade Chocolate Chip Granola Bar Recipe

🧂 Ingredients

• 2 ½ cups old-fashioned rolled oats

  dry
• ¼ cup honey
• ¼ cup unsalted butter
• ⅓ cup brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
• ½ cup creamy peanut butter
• ½ cup roasted salted peanuts
• ¼ cup mini chocolate chips

Instructions

• 1 Preheat the oven to 350°. Line a 9-inch square baking dish with parchment or
  foil and lightly spray with cooking spray.
• 2 Place the oats on a rimmed baking sheet and bake for 8-10 minutes until lightly
  toasted.
• 3 While the oats are toasting, add the honey, butter, and brown sugar to a small
  saucepan. Cook over medium heat until the butter melts and the sugar dissolves,
  stirring occasionally. Let the mixture come to a light bubble for 1 minute while
  stirring. When butter mixture is ready, remove it from the heat and stir in the
  vanilla, salt, and peanut butter.
• 4 Add the toasted oats and the peanuts to a large bowl. Pour the honey mixture
  over the oat and nut mixture and stir to combine. Stir to combine. Make sure
  none of the oats are dry.
• 5 Place all of the oat mixture in the prepared pan. Use a rubber spatula or the
  bottom of a greased measuring cup to press the mixture into the pan.
• 6 Let this cool for about 10 minutes before sprinkling the mini chocolate chips
  over the top. Press the chocolate chips into the granola bars with the bottom of
  a measuring cup.
• 7 Chill the granola bars for at least 2 hours. Lift the bars from the pan using
  the edges of the foil or parchment and place them on a cutting board. Cut into
  desired shape and size and serve.
