Servings: 8 bars
Ingredients
- ½ cup honey
- 3 tablespoons peanut butter or almond butter
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt
- 2 cups rolled oats
- ½ cup finely chopped walnuts or almonds
- ⅓ cup dark chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Line an 8-inch square baking dish with parchment paper.
- Combine the honey, peanut butter, and sea salt in a large mixing bowl. Stir till combined. Add the rolled oats, chopped nuts, and chocolate chips and stir till combined.
- Press the mixture into the baking dish. Bake the granola bars for 18 minutes for soft bars and 20 to 22 minutes for crispy bars.
- Allow the bars to cool fully in the pan for 20 minutes before cutting them into 8 to 10 bars.
- Then, pull the side of the parchment paper up to remove the bars from the pan and slice again along the same lines.
- Allow bars to cool fully before eating or storing.

Notes
Storage - save granola bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days or in the refrigerator for up to one week. Alternatively, you can wrap each bar in wax paper or plastic wrap to store them as well.
Freeze - for up to three months. I suggest allowing them to defrost for 20 to 30 minutes before eating.
Cooking Tips - If you want less crumbly bars, bake for at least 20 minutes. If you like a chewy, soft bar then bake bars for 18 minutes. Make sure to allow them to fully cool before cutting.
Recommended Tools - I highly recommend lining your baking pan with parchment paper. This keeps the granola bars from sticking to the pan.
