Granola Bars Recipe
Chantal
This Granola Bars recipe is a staple at my house. My kids always beg me to make it. These granola bars are a healthier alternative than most store-bought snacks, and they take less than 10 minutes to prepare. You can't beat that!

Cuisine American
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1 cup crunchy peanut butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups gluten free rolled oats
- 1 1/2 cups gluten free rice crisps cereal
- 1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- 1 cup semisweet or dark chocolate morsels
Place 1 cup of Peanut butter in a large microwavable bowl. Heat in microwave for one to two minutes or until soft and slightly melted.
Add ½ a cup of honey and 1 tsp vanilla extract to the peanut butter. Mix well until well combined.
To the peanut butter and honey mixture, add the 1 ½ cups of rice crisps, 1 ½ cups rolled oats, ½ a cup of unsweetened shredded coconuts, and the 1 cup of chocolate. Using a wooden spoon, mix until well combined.
Using a spatula, scrape the mixture into the cookie sheet lined with foil.
Spray your clean palms with the cooking spray. Rub your palms together, and gently press on the mixture with your oiled hands to spread it evenly into the pan in order to create a ½ or a ¼ inch thick granola sheet.
Cover the granola sheet with a plastic wrap.
Refrigerate for one hour. Cut into even bars (whatever size you like) and enjoy~
You can replace the chocolate with any mixture of dehydrated fruits of your liking.
You can also replace the rice crisps with rolled oats. This will make the granola bars less sweet, hence, healthier 🙂
