Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
- 0.5 cup raw almonds
- 0.5 cup raw pecans
- 0.5 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup natural almond butter
- 0.5 cup honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup mini chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the sides for easy removal later.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, almonds, pecans, shredded coconut, chia seeds, ground cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.
In a small saucepan over low heat, add the almond butter and honey. Stir constantly until the mixture becomes smooth and runny, about 2 minutes. Take off the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Pour the warm almond butter and honey mixture over the dry ingredients. Mix thoroughly with a spatula until everything is well coated.
If using mini chocolate chips, let the mixture cool for a couple of minutes to avoid melting the chocolate, then fold in the chocolate chips.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking pan. Use the back of a spoon or a spatula to press the mixture firmly into an even layer. This step is important to help the bars hold together.
Refrigerate the pan for at least 1 hour, or until the mixture is firm and set.
Use the parchment paper overhang to lift the granola mixture out of the pan. Place it on a cutting board and slice into 12 bars or your desired size.
Store the bars in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
