Granola Bars
chewy honey oat granola bars
Ingredients
- 200 g rolled oats
- 76 g honey
- 56 g sunflower seeds
- 44 g butter
- 36 g brown sugar
- 36 g semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 20 g flaxseed, ground
- 5 g vanilla extract
- 2 g salt
Method
- 1. Toast the oats and sunflower seeds on a tray at 350°F ~10 min, until fragrant.
- 2. Meanwhile melt the butter with the honey, brown sugar, and salt and simmer ~1 min to a sticky binder; off the heat, stir in the vanilla.
- 3. Combine the binder with the toasted oats, seeds, and flax; let cool ~5 min, then fold in the chocolate chips so they don't fully melt (or, optionally press them onto the tops of the finished bars while still pliable).
- 4. Press very firmly into a parchment-lined 8×8 pan (for default scaled amount).
- 5. Chill until firm, ~1 h, then lift out and cut into bars.
