Ingredients

• 2 cups rolled oats, uncooked
• 1/2 cup honey
• 1/4 cup coconut oil
• 1/3 cup chocolate chips
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/2 tsp salt

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9×9 inch baking pan with parchment paper. This helps prevent sticking and makes removal easier.
2. Combine the oats, honey, coconut oil, chocolate chips, vanilla extract, and salt in a large mixing bowl. Stir thoroughly to ensure all ingredients are evenly mixed.
3. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking pan. Press down firmly with a spatula or the back of a spoon to create a compact, even layer.
4. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges turn a light golden color. This indicates the bars are properly baked.
5. Remove from the oven and allow the granola bars to cool in the pan on a wire rack. This step is crucial for them to set properly.
6. Once cooled, lift out the entire block using the edges of the parchment paper and transfer to a cutting board. Cut into 12 even bars.
7. Store bars in an airtight container to maintain freshness. Enjoy as a convenient snack or quick breakfast option.
