Ingredients

    1.5 cups oatmeal (gluten free for gluten free recipe)
    1.5 cups brown rice krispies
    .5 cup peanut, chopped
    .5 cup pecans, chopped
    .5 cup chocolate chips
    .5 cup brown rice syrup
    1 ts vanilla
    .25 ts salt (optional)
    3 tb peanut butter

Tips

Hang parchment paper over the edge. Let granola bars cool for about 10 minutes and then run a knife around the edges, lift and place granola on a cutting board. Wait a couple of more minutes and slice in half and then slice each half into 6 pieces. Push together granola bars, if needed. Use a spatula to transfer to a plate to cool further. Is gluten free if you use gluten free oatmeal. Regular rice krispies work great, too, if you don't require a whole grain recipe.


Directions

Measure oatmeal, brown rice krispies, peanuts, pecans and chocolate chips into a bowl and mix. Pour brown rice syrup, vanilla sale and peanut butter on top. Mix well.

Spoon into and 8x8 inch non stick baking pan lined with parchment paper. Cook 20-25 minutes at 350 degrees.
