Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter Granola Cookie Bars Recipe
Ingredients:
- 1 ½ cups rolled oats
- ½ cup peanut butter (unsweetened)
- ¼ cup honey or maple syrup
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup granola
- ½ cup chocolate chips
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- Mix the wet ingredients:
- In a large bowl, combine the peanut butter, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
- Add the dry ingredients:
- Stir in the rolled oats, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt. Mix until well combined.
- Fold in the granola and chocolate chips.
- Press into the pan:
- Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish. Press it down firmly and evenly using a spatula or your hands.
- Bake:
- Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. The center will still be soft but will firm up as it cools.
- Cool and slice:
- Let the bars cool completely in the pan before slicing into squares or bars.
Tips:
- Customize the mix-ins: Add nuts, dried fruit, or seeds for extra texture and flavor.
- Make them gluten-free: Use certified gluten-free oats and granola.
- Storage: Store the bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or freeze for longer storage.
