Homemade Granola Bars



This are amazing! Granola bars taste so much better when they don't taste like preservatives. Next time we make these we are going to use craisins and dried blueberries instead of the chocolate chips. I found this recipe on allrecipes and just made a few changes.

4-1/2 cups rolled oats
1 cup flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon vanilla
2/3 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup honey
1/3 cup packed brown sugar
2 cups mini-chocolate chips (or any combination of dried fruits, nuts, chips, seeds, etc)

Preheat oven to 325. Grease a 9x13-inch pan. In a large bowl combine the oats, flour, baking soda, vanilla, butter, honey and brown sugar. Stir in 2 cups chocolate chips (or whatever you want to put in). Press mixture into the pan. Bake for 9 minutes, then take spatula and gently press mix down. Bake another 9-12 minutes or until golden brown. Let cool for 10 minutes then cut into bars. Let bars cool completely in pan before removing or serving.
