Dark Chocolate Granola Bars

Ingredients

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1 cup shredded unsweetened coconut
  • 1/4 cup sesame seeds
  • 1/2 cup sunflower kernels
  • 1/2 cup pepitas
  • 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
  • 1/4 cup ground flax seed
  • 1/2 cup pure honey
  • 1/4 cup smooth peanut butter

Instructions

  • Line an 8x8 baking dish with parchment paper and set aside.
  • Toast the oats, coconut, sesame seeds, pepitas, and sunflower kernels in a skillet over medium heat, stirring frequently until golden. While that's toasting, heat the honey and peanut butter in a small saucepan, cooking until the peanut butter has melted and the mixture is bubbling.
  • Transfer the toasted dry ingredients to a large bowl and add the ground flaxseed and chocolate chips. 
  • Pour the hot mixture over the dry ingredients, and stir until all the chocolate has melted and the ingredients are coated in the honey-peanut butter mixture.
  • Pour the granola bar mixture into the prepared baking dish and firmly pack it down with a spoon or spatula. Place it in the fridge until cool. Cut in half once, then cut the other way 3-4 times, until you have 8-10 bars.
