I was craving chocolate yesterday, so I made some homemade chocolate chip granola bars. YUMMMM! They were super good!
I modified the Chewy Peanut Bars from the book Living the GI Diet by Rick Gallop
.Here's the homemade chocolate chip granola bar recipe I came up with:
1 1/2 cups old fashioned rolled oats
1/4 cup oat bran
1/4 wheat germ
1/3 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 - 3/4 tsp cinnamon
1 egg
1/4 packed brown sugar
2 tsp vanilla
squirt of honey
1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
Preheat the oven to 350.
In a large bowl, combine the oats, oat bran, wheat germ, flour, baking soda, baking powder and cinnamon.
In another large bowl, combine the egg, brown sugar, vanilla and honey. Add the oat mixture and stir. Add the chocolate chips and stir.
Spray an 8 inch baking pan with non-stick cooking spray and add the dough. Pat and spread the dough evenly.
Bake 12 - 15 minutes until firm to the touch.
Cool and cut into bars.
