Perfect for back to school!

I’ve made these easy granola bars hundreds of times, and while they do take a few more minutes than grabbing a box off the shelf, the effort is well worth it.

Why? Because they’re better for you, more filling, and easier on the wallet! Plus, you get to control exactly what goes into them—no mystery ingredients! Whether you need a quick breakfast on the go or a satisfying snack to pack in lunch boxes, these granola bars have you covered. And trust me, everyone in the house will love them, not just the kids!

Chewy Homemade Granola Bars

1 cup coconut oil

1 cup brown sugar

3/4 cup honey

1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

8 cups quick oats

4 cups Rice Krispies 

Mini chocolate chips for topping 

Makes a sheet pan.

Add coconut oil, brown sugar and honey into a large microwave safe bowl and heat in microwave in 45 second intervals, stirring in between, until oil is melted. 

Mix in vanilla and oats. The bigger the bowl the easier it is to mix!

Carefully fold in Rice Krispies until everything is evenly coated. Grease up a large baking sheet and press the mixture firmly in with hands or spatula. 

Top with desired amount of chocolate chips and press them in.

Place the baking sheet in the freezer for 15 minutes. Once it has firmed up, remove from freezer and cut into desired size of bars.
