Homemade Chewy Granola Bars

I love this recipe because it is more healthy. Let's just say that its probably one of the better recipes out there for you. 

No Butter

No Shortening

No Corn Syrup

Pinterest inspired

I did end up tweaking it a little bit because I had no cranberries and I still wanted some kind of crunch texture.

My recipe:

1 c. crunchy peanut butter

2/3 c. honey (local honey from The Honey Girl)

1/2 c. coconut oil (many great things about this, stay tuned for blog post)

2 c. oats

1 1/4 c. chocolate chips

Melt on med-low heat the coconut oil, peanut butter and honey in a med saucepan

Unmelted

Melted

Then you need to add the oats and the chocolate chips to the mixture

Stir until completely combined and all the chocolate chips are melted

Pour into a casserole dish, you can grease the pan with oil. I didn't because I thought that the coconut oil in the dessert would've helped with that. Which in this case it didn't, :( so unless you want your granola bars sticking to your dish, grease that sucker!

Cover with plastic wrap and put it in the refrigerator for about an hour, or till it hardens.

Store leftovers(if there are any) ;) in the refrigerator. I cut it up into cubes so that its ready to grab and go.

Now it's time for you to enjoy those mostly healthy homemade granola bars! 

Yum!
