Instructions

Preheat oven to 325°F.

Combine the first 6 ingredients in a bowl.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the remaining ingredients.

Pour the wet ingredients over the oat mixture and stir thoroughly to combine.

Place granola mixture on a parchment lined baking sheet and shape into a rectangle, about 13 x 9 x 1 inch thick. Press firmly so that the granola sticks together.

Bake for 30-40 minutes.

Allow to cool completely, then cut into 3 x 1 inch bars.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Toast Your Oats First 🔥
Lightly toast the old-fashioned oats in a dry skillet for 3-4 minutes before mixing to enhance their nutty flavor and improve the bars' texture and crunchiness.
Chill Before Cutting ❄️
Refrigerate the baked granola bars for at least 2 hours before cutting into portions; this prevents crumbling and creates clean, professional-looking bars.
Brown Sugar Moisture Secret 🍯
Pack the brown sugar firmly when measuring to ensure even distribution of sweetness and moisture throughout the bars, preventing dry spots.
Chocolate Chip Placement Strategy 🍫
Reserve half your chocolate chips and sprinkle them on top immediately after removing from the oven while still warm, so they soften slightly and stay visible rather than sinking into the mixture.
Oil Balance for Binding 🫒
Use 1/3 cup oil per cup of dry ingredients as a golden ratio; this creates the ideal binding consistency without making the bars greasy or too dense.
