INGREDIENTS:

  • 3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats

  • 1/2 cup brown rice syrup

  • 1/4 cup coconut oil

  • 1/4 cup brown sugar, lightly packed

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

  • 1/4 cup chopped peanuts (optional)

  • 1/4 cup raisins (optional)

  • 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips (optional)

INSTRUCTIONS:

  1. Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C). Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.

  2. In a large bowl, combine the oats, brown rice syrup, coconut oil, brown sugar, and salt. Mix well until the oats are evenly coated.

  3. Stir in the chopped peanuts, raisins, and chocolate chips, if using.

  4. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking pan and press it down firmly and evenly.

  5. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.

  6. Let the bars cool completely in the pan before cutting them into squares.

  7. Store the granola bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.



TIPS:

  • For a chewier texture, use brown rice syrup as the sweetener. If you prefer a sweeter taste, you can use honey or maple syrup instead.

  • Feel free to customize the add-ins to your liking. You can use different nuts, dried fruits, or even chopped candy pieces.

  • If the mixture seems too dry, add a tablespoon or two of water to help it bind together.

  • Let the bars cool completely before cutting them to prevent them from crumbling.

Enjoy! 😋😋
