Homemade Granola Bars

These homemade granola bars are SO much better than any kind you'd buy at the store. They're easy to make, and they're chewy, nutty, and delicious.
Course: Snack
Cuisine: American

Ingredients

  • ¼ cup coconut oil
  • 1 cup smooth peanut butter
  • ½ cup honey
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3 cups rolled oats
  • ½ cup shredded coconut
  • ¼ cup flax or chia seeds
  • ½ cup chocolate chips I used semi-sweet and kept some aside for topping

Instructions

  • Add coconut oil, peanut butter, honey and vanilla extract to a pot on the stove.
  • Melt over medium low heat, stirring constantly until melted. This only takes a few minutes.
  • Remove from heat and stir in oats, coconut, flax or chia seeds and most of the chocolate chips.
  • Line a baking pan with parchment paper and press mixture down evenly into the pan.
  • Refrigerate for a few hours.
  • For any leftover granola bars, store in the fridge. I wrapped mine individually in waxed paper and froze for future enjoyment.
