An easy granola bar recipe that can be made within minutes!
Ingredients
3 Tbsp Butter
3 Tbsp Cinnamon Creamed Honey (Or plain honey)
1 Tbsp Agave Nectar
⅓ Cup Brown Sugar
2 Cups Quick Oats
1 Cup Puffed Rice Cereal (like Rice Krispies)
1 Tsp Vanilla
½ Cup Dark Chocolate Chips (or milk chocolate)
Instructions
In a medium bowl, add cereal and oats. Stir to combine and set aside.
In a small saucepan, melt butter, honey, agave, and sugar over medium heat just to a boil. Stir to combine. Reduce heat and remove after about 2-3 minutes.
Add vanilla and stir
Pour into cereal and oats, mix well to incorporate
Transfer into a rimmed tray (12X8 inch and about an inch deep)
Press firmly in order for the oats to cover the entire surface evenly
Sprinkle with chocolate chips and gently, press down
Allow to cool for a few minutes in the fridge (or an hour at room temperature)
When firm, cut into bars.
Notes
Press firmly into the tray to prevent the bars from falling apart. Try to achieve about ¾ inch thickness. I put mine in the fridge for about 20 minutes before serving.
