Step 1
Measure pretzels into a blender (I have this one) or food processor and pulse until they are the consistency of bread crumbs. Set aside.
Step 2
In the bowl of a standing mixer (or just using a large glass bowl*), mix the peanut butter, honey, coconut oil and vanilla until well blended.
Step 3
Add the oats and crushed pretzels and mix until everything is evenly combined.
Step 4
Add the chocolate chips and peanuts (if using) and mix again just a few rounds to incorporate into the mixture.
Step 5
Line an 8×8 or 9×9 baking pan with parchment paper. Scoop the granola into the pan.
Step 6
Moisten your fingers and hands** with water and press the granola down and out into the corners and edges of the pan until it is evenly distributed and pressed together.
Step 7
Place the pan in the freezer for 30 minutes.
Step 8
Remove the pan from the freezer and pull the granola bars out of the pan by using the edges of the parchment paper as handles.
Step 9
Cut the granola bars into 24 pieces. Store in the fridge.
