Description

Chewy, soft‑baked granola cookie bars loaded with peanut butter and mini chocolate chips—easy to make and perfect for snacks or grab‑and‑go breakfasts.


Ingredients

  • 3 cups old‑fashioned rolled oats
  • ¾ cup natural peanut butter
  • ⅓ cup honey or maple syrup
  • ½ cup mini chocolate chips
  • 2 large eggs (or 2 flax “eggs” for vegan)
  • Optional: pinch of salt, ¼ cup nuts or seeds


Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 °F (175 °C).
  2. In a large bowl, mix oats, peanut butter, honey (or syrup), eggs (or flax eggs), and optional salt/add‑ins until well combined.
  3. Line a 9×9‑inch pan with parchment paper.
  4. Press mixture firmly into pan; sprinkle mini chocolate chips on top and press them in gently.
  5. Bake 15‑17 minutes, until edges begin to brown and center is set.
  6. Cool completely in pan on a rack, then lift out parchment and cut into bars.

Notes

  • Use gluten‑free oats if needed.
  • For vegan version, substitute flax eggs and use vegan chocolate chips.
  • Bars store airtight in fridge up to 10 days or freeze up to 3 months.
