Ingredients

  • 4 1/2 tablespoons butter unsalted
  • 3 1/2 tablespoons honey
  • 3 tablespoons coconut sugar or brown sugar
  • 2 1/4 teaspoon molasses
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 3/4 cup + 2 tablespoons oats not old-fashioned, quick-cooking
  • 3/4 cup granola cereal broken into small pieces clumps
  • 1/4 plus 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons mini chocolate chips

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Line the bottom of an 8-inch square pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides.
  2. In a large pot, bring the butter, honey, coconut sugar, and molasses to a boil over high heat. Boil until the mixture just begins to thicken—about 45 seconds to a minute.
  3. Remove from the heat and whisk in the vanilla. Finally, stir in all the remaining ingredients except the chocolate chips until everything is coated.
  4. Press the mixture very firmly into the prepared pan (I find using slightly damp hands works well) and then sprinkle with the chocolate chips, lightly packing them in.
  5. Cover and refrigerate until firm, about 1 to 2 hours.
  6. Slice into bars and DEVOUR.
