These are no-bake and really easy! I have been looking for simple and healthy lunch snacks to bring to school. I found this recipe on Pinterest and decided to try it. I added in some ground flax seed to the mixture so these bars are actually pretty healthy. They sort of taste like no bake cookies. I found a few other recipes for granola bars that I'm thinking about trying, too-- one had Nutella in it! Stay tuned!
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup of natural peanut butter
- 1/3 cup of local honey
- 1/4 cup of unsalted butter
- 1 cup of oats (not quick oats)
- 2 tablespoons of wheat germ
- 2 tablespoons of ground flax seed
- 1/2 cup of mini semi-sweet chocolate chips
Directions:
1) Melt the butter, peanut butter, and honey over low-medium heat. Stir constantly.
2) Turn off the burner when melted. Pour in the oats, wheat germ, and flax seed. Stir til combined.
3) You can wait until the mixture cools to add in the chocolate chips, or if you're like me (impatient) just go ahead and dump it all right in. The result will be a more uniform chocolate taste (shown in the picture).
4) Pour mixture into a foil-lined 8x8 pan and stick in the fridge. Once cooled, take the foil out of the pan and cut to the size you like.
5) Voila!
Get Cookin'!
