No Bake Chewy Granola Bars
Easy no bake granola bars with honey and peanut butter flavor - easy to customize and quick to whip up!
Servings:8 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup whole grain cereal , (I used whole grain Cheerios - something similar would work)
- ½ cup shredded coconut, (both sweetened and unsweetened work fine)
- 1 ¼ cups old fashioned rolled oats
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup nuts, roughly chopped
- ⅓ cup creamy peanut butter
- ⅓ cup honey
- 3 tablespoons chocolate chips , (optional)
Instructions
- Combine cereal, coconut, oats, salt, and chopped nuts in a bowl and stir to combine.
- In a small sauce pan combine peanut butter and honey and stir over medium heat until smooth. Stir into your oats mixture. Stir in chocolate chips if using.
- Line an 8x8 inch pan with nonstick foil and lightly grease (I used cooking spray but you could also use butter or oil). Press granola mixture into your pan.
- Freeze for 20 minutes. Lift foil from the pan and place on a flat clean surface. Cut into bars. Store in airtight container together or individually wrapped in plastic wrap. Store chilled.
Notes
Store individually wrapped in fridge or at room temperature.
