Coconut Chocolate Granola Bars
Servings: 8 bars
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups rolled oats
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- 2/3 cup chopped almonds
- 1/8 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup creamy almond butter
- 1/2 cup pure honey
- 1 Tbs pure maple syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and prepare an 8x8 baking dish by lining it with parchment paper. Set aside.
- Combine the oats, chocolate, coconut, almonds, and salt in a large bowl. In a separate bowl, mix the almond butter, honey, syrup, and vanilla.
- Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, and mix it using a hand mixer to thoroughly incorporate everything.
- Pour all ingredients into the prepared baking dish, and using wet hands or a spatula, press down on the mixture to spread it out and make it level.
- Bake for about 20 minutes, or until the sides begin to turn golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and let cool completely. Refrigerate for about an hour to help the chocolate solidify and the bars to set up.
- Cut into 8 granola bars by slicing 3 evenly spaced vertical lines and 1 horizontal line down the middle.
- Store in the fridge to help the bars last longer.
