These granola bars are AMAZING and are our new favorite granola bar recipe!!! They taste like a chewy candy bar and remind me of the Quaker chewy granola bars I ate before allergies but with so much more flavor. I highly recommend using chocolate chips as the add in. They are very yummy, simple, and fast to make with ingredients that we usually have on hand. Next time I'm going to make a double batch and place it in an 11x15 baking dish.
No Bake Perfect Chewy Granola Bars
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup dairy free margarine
1/4 cup corn syrup or honey
1 tbsp vanilla extract
2 cups oats
1 cup Rice Krispies
1/4 cup add ins desired such as safe chocolate chips, flaked coconut, raisins, craisins,
chopped marshmallows, etc.
Place the brown sugar, margarine, and corn syrup in a microwave safe bowl. Microwave for 1 minute, stir to thoroughly combine, then microwave an additional 1 1/2 minutes. Stir in the vanilla. Stir in the oats until thoroughly coated. Stir in the Rice Krispies and add ins until combined. Press the mixture firmly and evenly into a wax paper lined 8x11 baking dish. Freeze for 15 minutes or until firm. Cut into bars then store in the fridge in a tightly covered container.
* If you would rather not use the add ins, use an additional 1/4 cup of Rice Krispies.
