Dark chocolate chip Granola bars
Ingredients
4 cups of quick cooking oats
1/3 cup canola oil
2/3 cup honey
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup chocolate chips (dark chocolate)
1 cup chopped organic nuts (optional) I used pistachio's and a few dried cherries.
Method
Preheat oven to 350°F. Spread oats on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake for 15 minutes, stirring a couple of times. Allow oats to cool to room temperature. Combine remaining ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Add cooled oats. Spread mixture into a 9x13-inch baking dish that has been sprayed or oiled, pressing down hard to compact it.
Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until golden brown. Cool completely and cut into bars.
I wonder if you used coconut oil instead of canola oil, it would be a bit healthier.
ReplyDeleteThese sound really good! I think the coconut oil idea is great. I'd probably attempt to skip the oil altogether. Or maybe half it or something. Were they yummy?
ReplyDeleteHeck yes they are yummy!! I have some left still, it made a ton, if your around tonight you can try them!
