I know.
It’s been MONTHS.
Whoops.
It’s summer. I’ll get my act together in the fall…I promise.
In the meantime here is a really easy recipe for homemade granola bars. You can change up the ingredients with tons of different dried fruits, nuts or chocolate – whatever you like!!
These take about 5 minutes max and no baking necessary 🙂
No Bake Homemade Granola Bars
Author:
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/3 cup packed brown sugar
- 2 cups quick cooking oats {not rolled oats}
- 1 cup crispy rice cereal
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
- 2 tablespoons mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- Melt the butter, honey and brown sugar in a small sauce pan over medium high heat.
- Let bubble for 2 minutes so that all the brown sugar dissolves. Remove from heat.
- In the meantime mix the oats and rice cereal together in a bowl.
- Once the butter mixture is removed from the heat add the vanilla.
- Pour butter mixture over the oats and rice cereal.
- Combine so every thing is covered with the butter mixture.
- Press into a shallow baking dish (or jelly roll pan if you have one!).
- Top with mini chocolate chips and lightly press them into the bars so they stick.
- Once cooled cut into bars.
Notes
It is very important that you firmly press the mixture down into the pan as much as you can. I used a piece of wax paper to do so. If the mixture is not pressed down enough the bars will fall apart when they cool.
