Equipment
- 1 Oven
- 1 9 x 9" Baking Pan
- 1 Large Mixing Bowl
- 1 Small Saucepan
- 1 Mixing Spoon
- 1 Parchment Paper
Ingredients
- 2 cups Rolled Oats
- ¼ cup Ground Flax Seeds
- 2 tbsp Chia Seeds
- ½ cup Semi-sweet Chocolate Chips suggest mini size
- ¼ cup Pure Maple Syrup
- ¼ cup Coconut Oil
- ¼ tsp Salt
- 1 Vanilla Bean, scraped
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350℉ and prepare a 9 x 9″ baking pan with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine oats, flax seeds, chia seeds, chocolate chips and salt.
- In a separate small saucepan over low heat, stir/whisk the maple syrup and coconut oil together until they are smooth and melted. Next, stir in the scraped vanilla caviar.
- Pour the maple mixture over the oat mixture and mix very well to combine.
- Transfer the mixture to the prepared 9 x 9″ baking pan. Press very firmly into an even layer. The firm pressure is important to ensure the finished granola bars maintain their proper shape.

- Carefully remove the pan from the oven and let the pan cool for ~ 10 minutes. Then cut the granola into 16 even bars.
