Quaker Chewy Chocolate Chip Granola Bars Recipe
This Quaker Chewy Chocolate Chip Granola Bars Recipe is a homemade, copycat version of the popular oatmeal snack bars!
Equipment
- Medium Size Baking Tray
- Stovetop Pan
- Whisk
- Rubber Spatula
Ingredients
- ¼ cup pure maple syrup
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- ½ cup refined coconut oil
- 3 tbsp almond butter
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- pinch pink salt
- 1½ + ½ of a ⅓ cup cup rice krispies
- ½ + ½ of a ⅓ cup cup rolled oats
- ¼ cup vegan mini semisweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- In a small pan over medium high heat, whisk together the maple syrup, almond butter, brown sugar, coconut oil, and salt until it comes to a boil.
- Turn off the heat. Add in the vanilla, rice krispies and oats to the wet ingredients. Stir to combine.
- Transfer the mixture to a large bowl. Let it cool down for 30 minutes.
- Once cooled, stir in the chocolate chips. Make sure not to add the chocolate in too soon - it will melt!
- Line a small baking tray with parchment paper.
- Using a rubber spatula, very tightly press down the granola bar mixture evenly into the pan, in a medium-thick layer. You can use another piece of parchment paper on top with a few heavy books on top to really press the oat mixture down.
- Refrigerate for 1 hour.
- Remove the oat bars from the refrigerator and use a pizza cutter or a very sharp knife to cut into 8 bars. Enjoy!
