Ingredients

Instructions

  • Line a square 9x9-inch pan with parchment paper and spray it very lightly with non-stick baking spray. 
  • Add the peanut butter, honey, and coconut oil to a large, microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for 1 minute. 
  • Stir together the peanut butter mixture until it is smooth and thick. Add the vanilla and stir to combine. 
  • Next add the oats and fold them, making sure to get the oats evenly coated with the wet ingredients.When the oats are almost fully incorporated, add half of the chocolate chips and half of the peanuts. Continue folding until they are fully combined. 
  • Transfer the mixture to your prepared pan and spread it out evenly with your spatula. Sprinkle over the remaining chocolate chips and peanuts. 
  • Place a piece of parchment paper on top of the granola bars and press them into the pan. You want to pack them very tightly so they stay together! 
  • Transfer the granola bars to the fridge to chill for at least 2 hours-- make sure to leave them covered with the parchment paper on top! 
  • Remove the granola bars from the pan, slice, and enjoy. 
  • Store the granola bars in an airtight container in the fridge for up to five days. 

Tips & Notes

  • Make sure to use an all natural creamy peanut butter that has been stirred well. The extra moisture in all-natural peanut butter helps hold the granola bars together. 
  • I love the combination of rolled and quick-cooking oats in this recipe. It gives just the right amount of chewiness, but if you dont have both feel free to swap one or the other.
