I love having these granola bars around. Making them at home means I know exactly what’s in them, and I feel better knowing my kids are getting a nutritious snack. Plus, they have chocolate and peanut butter, my favorite flavor shidduch.

Prepare the Bars
-
Preheat oven to 350°F. Line an 8- x 8-inch baking pan with Gefen Easy Baking Parchment Paper.
-
In a large bowl, combine the oats, peanuts, cocoa powder, and salt. Add the honey, coconut oil, peanut butter, chocolate chips, and vanilla. Mix until well incorporated.
-
Firmly press the mixture into the prepared pan and bake at 350°F for 40 minutes. Remove from oven and immediately cut into two-inch squares. Allow to cool completely, since the bars firm up as they cool.
-
To help the bars hold their shape, store in the refrigerator for up to five days.
Note:
If you're packing these bars in a school lunch, leave out the peanuts and substitute sunflower butter for a nut-free treat (or even almond butter, if your school is just peanut-free).
Tip:
An 8- x 8-inch pan yields thick squares. For a longer, flatter granola bar, use a 9- x 13-inch pan and reduce baking time by five to seven minutes.
