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. 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spread oats, quinoa, almonds, and chia seeds on a baking sheet.
  2. 2. Toast in the preheated oven, stirring halfway through, until golden brown, about 15 minutes.
  3. 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. 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. 5. Place in the freezer until chocolate is firm, about 20 minutes; cut into bars.
