Ingredients

The ingredients are:
  • 3/4 cup butter or block-style margarine, softened
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar, packed 1/2 cup for sweeter
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 4 1/2 cups rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips or raisins or dried fruit
We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: Preheat oven to 325 degrees. In a medium-size mixing bowl, cream together the butter, honey, brown sugar, and vanilla extract. (I use an electric mixer for this step.)

  • Step 2: Add flour, baking soda, and oats. Stir until well-mixed. (Mixing with clean hands works great for this step.) Mixture will be a soft, fluffy, and somewhat crumbly. Stir in chocolate chips.

  • Step 3: Press mixture into a lightly-greased 9x13-inch baking dish. Bake at 325 degrees for 18-22 minutes, until edges are just starting to brown. Remove from oven and place dish on wire rack to cool.

  • Step 4: After granola bars have cooled for 10 minutes, use a smooth-bottomed measuring cup or glass to press the bars flat. (Pressing while too hot will smear chocolate everywhere!) Allow to finish cooling and then cut into 18 bars using sharp knife.
