Yummy Yummy White Chocolate Granola Bars!

I love love LOVE granola bars! So, it was only natural that this was the first thing I attempted to make for our 30 days of clean eating. These are great to have around for a sweet treat :)

What you'll need:

1/3 cup honey

2 teaspoon vanilla extract 

1/2 cup butter
1/4 cup brown sugar 

1/4 cup turbinado sugar
1 tablespoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
3 1/2 cups quick cooking oats

1 cup of organic crispy rice

1 cup organic pastry flour

1/2 cup white chocolate chips melted for drizzling (ghiradelli is the best brand I've found so far)

Step 1

Melt the butter and then pour it into a mixing bowl and mix in the honey and vanilla

Step 2

Add in your brown sugar, turbinado, and salt. Mix it well.

Step 3

Add in the flour then the oats and crispy rice and mix it well. this is the point when it starts to look like granola.

Step 4

Pour the mixture into a 9x12 baking pan- make sure you line it with parchment paper! and pop it in the oven at 350 for about 40 minutes. You can cook it a little less for a chewier bar or a little more if you want it dark and crunchy. This might take some experimentation on your part.

Step 5

Take your bars out and let them cool for 10-15 minutes. They will still seem super soft but don't worry they will set later. 

Step 6

Cut your bars in the pan. YOU MUST cut them before they set all the way!

Step 7

Melt your white chocolate and drizzle away :)

Step 8

Leave your bars to set. You can set them at room temp for 3-4 hours or you can pop them in the fridge for an hour. Then take them out and separate them. I lifted the entire piece of parchment out and set them on my cutting board and they broke apart pretty easily that way.

ENJOY!
