HEALTHY CHOCOLATE GRANOLA RECIPE

Steps:

• Pre-heat the oven to 325 degrees.
• In a small pot over low heat, add the cacao butter to melt (or melt in the microwave). Once it is melted, add the maple syrup, almond butter, and vanilla. Whisk to combine.
• In a 9" x 13" baking dish, combine the oats, chopped almonds, cocoa powder, and sea salt. You can also mix it in a large bowl first, then transfer it into the baking dish. Once the dry ingredients are fully mixed, add the wet ingredients. Stir the cacao butter mixture until there are no dry spots in your granola mixture. Smooth into an even layer, but don't press down.
• Bake for 20 minutes, stir and return it to the oven for 10 more minutes. Remove and add the mini chocolate chips and bake for 5 more minutes.
• Allow to fully cool before storing in an airtight container.

CHEWY CHOCOLATE CHIP GRANOLA BARS (QUAKER COPYCAT)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 13x9-inch baking dish with two pieces of parchment paper, perpendicular to each other. Let each piece of parchment overhang on two opposite sides of the pan.
• Place coconut oil, honey and salt in a small saucepan. Heat over low heat, stirring, until the mixture comes to a low boil. Continue to let it bubble as you stir it for 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla. Let the mixture cool for 2-3 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a large bowl, stir together the oats and brown rice crisp cereal.
• Pour the coconut oil and honey mixture over the oats and cereal in the bowl and stir until well combined. Stir in about 2/3 of the chocolate chips.
• Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish. Lay a piece of parchment across the top and use a rubber spatula and your hand to press it very firmly into the pan. Be sure to press the mixture down firmly to make sure that the bars will hold together when you cut them.
• Sprinkle on the remaining chocolate chips and gently press them into the top of the bars.
• Bake for 15 minutes. Let cool and then chill in the refrigerator for at least an hour before cutting into bars.
• Store granola bars wrapped airtight in the refrigerator for 1-2 weeks (we never have any left after 1 week!) or the freezer for up to 3 months.

PEANUT BUTTER CHOCOLATE CHIP GRANOLA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 340 degrees F (171 C).
• In a large mixing bowl, combine oats and sugar. (Note: this helps add an extra crispiness to the final product and sweetens it up a bit more. But if you're sugar conscious, it's optional. However, I recommend it!)
• Warm peanut butter, oil, and maple syrup or agave in a small skillet or saucepan until thoroughly combined and pourable.
• Pour over oats and quickly toss/stir to combine. If it appears too wet, add more oats (mine was just right).
• Spread evenly on a large baking sheet (or two small baking sheets) and bake for 18-22 minutes, or until evenly golden brown. Watch closely as it tends to brown quickly near the end. IMPORTANT: Toss once around the 15-minute mark to ensure even baking.
• Remove from oven, toss gently to release heat and let cool completely on the pan.
• Transfer to mixing bowl or storage container and add chocolate chips (optional) and stir or shake.
• Eat with almond milk - my favorite. Sliced bananas take it to the next level.
• Will keep fresh for up to two weeks. Freeze after that.

• Spread oats onto an un-greased cookie sheet and bake for 15 minutes, stirring a couple of times.
• Mix oil, honey and vanilla in a large bowl.

• Line a 9x13 baking dish with parchment paper and mist with oil.
• Spread the mixture evenly onto the parchment.
• Lay a sheet of waxed paper over the mixture and press to compact. (I use the palms of my hands to start, and then I use the bottom of a drinking glass to make the surface as smooth as possible.).
• Remove the waxed paper and use a rubber spatula to press in any of the oats that may have "straggled" up the sides of the dish.
• Bake for 20 minutes.
• Cool completely and lift parchment from the dish.
• Cut into 16 bars.

• Preheat the oven to 325°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or greased foil. Set aside for later.
• Add all ingredients except maple syrup and vanilla to a large bowl. Stir until well mixed.
• Add maple syrup and vanilla. Using a rubber spatula, fold until clusters form and mixture is well mixed.
• Pour onto the prepared baking sheet. Create an even layer. Make a few pockets throughout to let air through to crisp up granola.
• Bake for 18-20 minutes. Using a heatproof spatula, gently flip granola, making sure to keep clusters intact. Bake for an additional 4-6 minutes, until edges are a deep golden brown and granola is just slightly soft. Mine took a total of 24 minutes. Granola will crisp up while cooling.
• Place baking sheet on a cooling rack. Allow to cool for about 30 minutes, or until completely cooled. Enjoy! Storing instructions below.

CHEWY CHOCOLATE CHIP GRANOLA BARS

Steps:

• Line a 9 x 13-inch baking pan with aluminum foil. Spray the foil lightly with nonstick cooking spray.
• In a large pot, combine the butter, brown sugar and honey. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly. Lower the heat and simmer until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is slightly thickened, about 2 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the vanilla and salt.
• Add the oats, rice cereal, almonds and flax meal (or wheat germ) to the pan and fold with a rubber spatula until well combined.
• Transfer the mixture to the prepared pan and press down lightly with a rubber spatula to even out. Sprinkle the miniature chocolate chips over top, adding more or less to suit your taste, and press down firmly with the spatula so the chips stick.The mixture should be tightly compacted in the pan. Place the pan in the refrigerator for 1½ - 2 hours to cool.
• Use the foil overhang to transfer the uncut bars to a cutting board. Using a sharp knife, cut into rectangles. Store the bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator. If you have to stack them, be sure to use parchment paper or foil in between the layers, otherwise they'll stick together and fall apart.
• Note: If you are substituting dried fruit for the chocolate chips, mix it in along with the other ingredients as opposed to sprinkling over top.
• Freezer-Friendly Instructions: The granola bars can be frozen for up to 3 months. Let them cool completely and store in an airtight container separating layers with parchment paper or aluminum foil. Before serving, move them to the refrigerator and store there.

• Let the cookies cool slightly on the baking sheets, then transfer them to a plate for serving.
