  • 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the sides.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, chopped nuts, and salt.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a small saucepan over low heat, combine honey (or maple syrup) and nut butter. Stir until melted and smooth, then remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract.
  4. Combine All Ingredients: Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients and mix well until everything is evenly coated. Fold in the chocolate chips.
  5. Press into Dish: Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish. Press it down firmly into an even layer.
  6. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown around the edges.
  7. Cool and Cut: Allow the granola bars to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then use the parchment paper to lift them out. Let them cool completely on a wire rack before cutting them into bars.
