Ingredients

  • 2 cups old fashion oats
  • 1/2 cup peanuts. chopped
  • 1/2 cup pecans chopped
  • 1/2 cup sunflower seeds
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup chocolate chips
  • 1/4 teaspoon coconut oil for the chocolate
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla

Instructions

  • Heat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spread out the oats onto a baking dish, a jello roll pan works well.
  • Line a 8 by 8 pan with aluminum foil and spray with a non-stick spray.
  • Roast for about 15 minutes, stirring about every 4 to 5 minutes so that the oats don't burn.
  • While the oats are in the oven chop the nuts that you will use. Combine the peanuts, pecans, and sunflower seeds.
  • In a medium saucepan combine the coconut oil, honey, brown sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla, heat over medium heat until it comes to a boil, remove from heat. Once the oats are roasted remove from the oven and add to the honey and coconut combination. Add the nuts and seeds; stir until everything is coated evenly. After taking the oats out of the oven turn the oven down to 225 degrees F.
  • Press the mixture into the prepared pan and place it in the 225 degrees F oven. Bake for 15 minutes. While the granola bars are baking, melt the chocolate chips with the coconut oil. Once you remove the bars from the oven drizzle the chocolate over the bars. Let cool completely. You can set in the refrigerator to speed up the process.
