Share recipe
Description
I'll usually make a huge batch of these and freeze them, then grab one for a healthy snack.
Ingredients
- 2 ½ cups oats
- 1 ½ cups quinoa
- 1 cup slivered almonds
- ⅓ cup chia seeds
- 1 cup crunchy peanut butter
- ½ cup honey
- ¼ cup coconut oil, warmed
- ½ cup flaxseed meal
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups dark chocolate chips
Directions
- 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spread oats, quinoa, almonds, and chia seeds on a baking sheet.
- 2. Toast in the preheated oven, stirring halfway through, until golden brown, about 15 minutes.
- 3. Mix peanut butter, honey, and coconut oil together in a bowl until thoroughly combined. Mix in oat mixture, flaxseed meal, and salt until well combined. Press granola mixture into a 12x18-inch baking pan.
- 4. Bake in the preheated oven until bars set, about 5 minutes. Remove from oven; sprinkle with chocolate chips. Bake until chocolate is just melted, about 5 minutes. Spread melted chocolate evenly over bars with a rubber spatula.
- 5. Place in the freezer until chocolate is firm, about 20 minutes; cut into bars.
