CHOCOLATE CHIP GRANOLA BARS

These are soft and chewy and will keep for a week and are oh so easy to make. They sure beat those awful granola bars in the store. Instead of chocolate chips you can add 3/4 cup of dried fruit or replace 1/2 cup of oats with shredded coconut.

CHOCOLATE CHIP GRANOLA BARS
2/3 cup butter
1/3 cup honey
1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
1 large egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
3/4 tsp salt
1-1/2 Tbsp flour
3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
1/3 cup almond flakes
2/3 cup pure chocolate chips

  • Preheat oven to 350F.
  • Line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
  • In a small bowl, partially melt the butter in the microwave.
  • Stir it smooth.
  • Add the butter, honey, egg, vanilla, salt, and flour until completely combined.
  • Add brown sugar and mix well.
  • Add oats and the almond flakes and mix well.
  • Stir in the chocolate chips.
  • Transfer the mixture to a sheet of parchment paper. The dough will be sticky.
  • Place another parchment paper on the top and press it into shape by hand and roller to fit the prepared pan.
  • Transfer to the prepared baking pan and press down, making sure the surface is flat and even.
  • Bake for about 20 minutes or until set and edges are lightly browned.
  • Allow to cool completely before cutting into bars.
  • Recipe yields 10 bars.

It began with posting a few recipes on line for the family. "zsuzsa is in the kitchen" has more than 1000 Hungarian and International recipes. What started out as a private project turned into a well visited blog. The number of visitors long passed the two million mark. I organized the recipes into an on-line cookbook. On top of the page click on "ZSUZSA'S COOKBOOK". From there click on any of the chapters to access the recipes. For the archive just scroll to the bottom of the page. I am not profiting from my blog, so visitors are not harassed with advertising or flashy gadgets. The recipes are not broken up with photos at every step. Where needed the photos are placed following the recipe. Feel free to cut and paste my recipes for your own use. Publication is permitted as long as it is in your own words and with your own photographs. However, I would ask you for an acknowledgement and link-back to my blog. Happy cooking!
