Chocolate Chip Granola Bars

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Line a quarter sheet pan with parchment paper.

Step 2

Place the oats, flour, coconut, brown sugar, chocolate chips, and salt in a large bowl, and toss it all around with a spatula until combined.

Step 3

In another bowl, whisk together the oil, vanilla, and honey until smooth and combined. Pour this all over the dry ingredients, and toss all the ingredients together until the wet ingredients have evenly coated all of the oats.

Step 4

Press the granola mixture into the pan, really compacting it well. The flat bottom of a measuring cup is a good tool for this, or you can place another piece of parchment paper on top and flatten with your fingers.

Step 5

Bake the granola rectangle for about 35 minutes, until it’s golden and dry to the touch.

Step 6

Cool the granola on the baking sheet for at least 10 minutes, then cut into small bars with a really sharp knife.
