I have developed a recipe for the best chewy granola bars ever, after trying out several other recipes. I wanted something to be inexpensive, healthy(ish), tasty, and approved by my toddler (and husband).
Here’s the recipe:
2 1/2 C Oats
3/4 C Rice Krispies
1/2 C Honey
1/2 C Butter softened
1/2 tsp Salt
1/2 tsp Vanilla
1/2 Cup Cinnamon Chips
1/2 – 3/4 Cup Raisins
Mix all ingredients together (I like to use my hands to get the butter into everything), and spread into a 9×13 pan. Press down tightly. Bake in at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. Cool, then slice into individual pieces. Forgive my terrible picture of it!

Wait… I dont get it. You just mix and press in the pan? What’s the black bits? Raisens? Chocolate chips?

Ok I’ll admit it – I was only half present while writing this post. The other 1/2 was watching Little Women and eating granola bars….
I have updated the post! Thanks for letting me know!

They sell cinnamon chips next to the chocolate chips in the grocery store – or so I thought. I get mine from Honeyville Grain where I get my bulk flour, etc!
