5 Ingredient Granola Bars
I'll start by saying, these granola bars WILL send you to the bathroom. Not only are they big on flavor, but theyre super simple to whip together! You will never walk the grocery aisles and pick up a box of quaker oat bars ever again.
Ingredients:
3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats (use verified gluten-free, if needed)
3/4 cup unsweetened peanut butter
⅓ cup honey
½ cup mini chocolate chips
2 whole eggs
(Optional: 1/3 cup Chia seeds)
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350℉.
In a large bowl, combine all ingredients and mix well. *If your peanut butter is solid at room temperature, heat it for 10-15 seconds.
Line a baking dish or pan with parchment paper. This makes it much easier to remove the bars from your dish once baked.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared dish or pan. Press the mixture into the pan in an even layer — the firmer you press, the better the bars will stick together.
Bake for 15 minutes, or until the center is baked through and the edges are just starting to brown.
Remove from the oven and place pan on a cooling rack.
Let the bars cool for 2+ hours before cutting into 16 squares with a SHARP knife.
