Servings: 12 bars
Equipment
Ingredients
- ¼ cup honey
- ¼ cup unsalted butter
- ⅓ cup dark brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon Kosher salt
- ½ cup creamy peanut butter
- 2 ½ cups rolled oats
- ½ cup roasted salted peanuts
- ¼ cup mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- Line a 9x9-inch baking dish with parchment paper so that some of the parchment hangs over two sides. Spray with cooking spray.
- Add the honey, butter, and brown sugar to a medium saucepan. Cook over medium heat until the butter melts and the sugar dissolves, stirring occasionally. Let the mixture come to a light bubble for 1 minute while stirring.
- When the butter mixture is ready, remove it from the heat and stir in the vanilla, salt, and peanut butter. Stir until well blended.
- Add the oats and peanuts, and stir to combine. Make sure none of the oats are dry.
- Spoon the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Use a rubber spatula or the bottom of a greased measuring cup to firmly press it down.
- Let the mixture cool for about 10 minutes, then press in the mini chocolate chips with the bottom of a measuring cup.
- Let the granola bars cool in the fridge for at least 2 hours. Lift the bars from the pan using the edges of the parchment and place them on a cutting board. Cut into desired shape and size and serve.
