Chocolate Blueberry Granola Bars
Chewy, chocolatey, super healthy, and wholly delicious.
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup Salted butter
- 84 grams Honey 1/4 cup
- 55 grams Brown sugar 1/4 cup, packed
- 1/2 tsp Ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 46 grams Egg white 3 tbsp or two egg whites
- 21 grams Ground flaxseed 3 tbsp
- 164 grams Rolled oats 2 cups
- 27 grams Rice Krispie cereal 1 cup
- 56 grams Mini semi-sweet chocolate chips 1/4 cup
- 40 grams Dried blueberries 1/4 cup
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F and spray and line an 8" x 8" baking pan with parchment paper.
- In a large, microwave-safe bowl, melt butter, about 30 seconds. Whisk in brown sugar, honey, ground cinnamon, and vanilla extract. If the bowl is cool enough, add the egg white, or wait a few minutes for it to cool before adding the egg white.
- Add remaining ingredients (flaxseed, oats, rice cereal, chocolate chips, and dried blueberries) and combine until evenly distributed.
- Pour granola into the prepared baking pan. Then press the granola hard into the pan for at least one minute. You can use your hands (disposable gloves) or another, smaller pan.
- Bake granola for 20 minutes. Remove from oven and sprinkle with additional chocolate chips, if desired. Allow to cool slightly before cutting into 12 equal bars. Store in refrigerator to keep firm.
