🧂 Ingredients

2 1/2 cups rolled oats
1 cup creamy peanut butter
2/3 cup honey
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 cup pumpkin seeds
1/2 cup mini chocolate chips

OR 1/4 cup each mini chocolate and peanut butter chips

Instructions

1 Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper or foil, leaving a bit of
overhang on the sides for easy lifting later.
2 In a medium saucepan over low heat, warm the peanut butter and honey until it’s
smooth and well-combined.
3 Remove from heat and stir in the oats, vanilla, pumpkin seeds, salt, and any
optional mix-ins you like. (See note below)
4 Allow the mixture to cool slightly before adding chocolate chips (you don’t want
them to melt completely). Stir to evenly distribute.
5 Press the mixture firmly into the prepared pan, using a spatula or your hands to
flatten the surface. Add extra chocolate chips on top if desired.
6 Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to set. Once firm, lift the bars from the pan
using the overhanging parchment and cut into squares or bars.
7 Keep your homemade granola bars in an airtight container. They’ll last up to a
week in the fridge or can be frozen for up to 2 months.
