Ingredients

For the granola bars

  • 2 cups rolled oats
  • ½ cup whole almonds, toasted and coarsely chopped
  • ½ cup All Bran cereal
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • ⅔ cup honey
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 pinch salt
  • ¾ cup unsweetened chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven

    Preheat the oven to 350°F / 180°C.

  2. 2

    Prepare the dry ingredients

    Add the oats, almonds and All Bran cereal to a food processor. Pulse until the almonds are chopped into small pieces without becoming powder.

  3. 3

    Make the honey mixture

    Combine the butter, honey, brown sugar, vanilla and salt in a saucepan. Bring to a boil while stirring, then remove from the heat and let cool for about 5 minutes.

  4. 4

    Combine everything

    Pour the honey mixture over the dry ingredients in a large bowl. Let cool another 8–10 minutes before stirring in the chocolate chips. Press the mixture firmly into the RaisingBars mold and sprinkle extra chocolate chips on top if desired.

  5. 5

    Bake and cool

    Bake for 20–25 minutes. Let the bars cool completely before removing them from the mold and storing them in your RaisingBars wrappers.
