Equipment
- baking sheet pan (11x13")
Ingredients
- 3 cups milk chocolate chips (about 1½ 11oz. bags)
- 4 cups old fashioned oats
- 2 cups peanut butter
- ¼ cup chia seeds
- 1 cup honey
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1 tsp sea salt
- 1 cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet pan (13"x18") with parchment paper and set aside.
- Pour the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl and heat in 20–30 second intervals, stirring after each one. Continue until the chocolate is mostly melted, then stir until smooth and glossy—this prevents burning and ensures even melting.
- When the chocolate is melted, pour it onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and spread it evenly.
- Place the pan in the fridge for about 30 minutes, or until the chocolate has hardened.
- In a separate mixing bowl, combine the oats, peanut butter, and honey, stirring until well combined.
- Add in the remaining ingredients and mix until everything is evenly blended.
- Remove the baking sheet from the fridge and pour the granola mixture over the hardened chocolate, pressing it firmly into an even layer.
- Return the pan to the fridge to chill until set.
- Once the granola bars have hardened, cut them into your desired size and enjoy!
