Homemade granola bars are easy to make and customize. You can prepare a large batch and enjoy them later, making them a much more affordable option than store-bought ones.

Ingredients

• ▢ 2½ cups old fashioned oats
• ▢ ¾ cup peanut butter
• ▢ ½ cup desiccated coconut
• ▢ ½ cup golden syrup
• ▢ 100 g chocolate chunks 75 gm + 25gm dark chocolate
• ▢ 1 teaspoon cinamon powder
• ▢ 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

• Blitz the Oats in your mixer , just enough to break them down. In a large mixing bowl combine Oats, Desiccated coconut, 75gm of chocolate and Cinnamon Powder and give them a good stir.
• In a medium saucepan , combine Golden Syrup,Peanut Butter and Vanilla Extract. Heat them until just melted and smooth. Make sure to stir occasionally.
• Pour the Wet mixture on to the Dry Oats Mixture and mix thoroughly until everything is evenly dispersed. Since we are adding a warm liquid mixture over the oats, chocolate mixture , chocolate is bound to melt and render a divine flavor.
• Line the baking tray with a greaseproof paper one overlapping the other. Press the prepared mixture onto the baking tray and flatten them using a wooden spoon or any heavy cup or jam tins to obtain an equal layer. Place the remaining chocolate chunks onto the top layer in a random fashion and spread it through. Cover with cling film .
• Leave it cool for atleast 3-4 hours , refrigerate overnight. Cut the Oats Chocolate Granola Bars into Snack bars and enjoy!

Notes

If you wish to enjoy chocolate chips/chunks instead of chocolate flavour , wait for the wet mixture to cool down and then pour it over.
If Golden Syrup is unavailable, you could use some Honey instead
