These chewy granola bars are a sweet and crunchy snack made with oats, rice cereal, and seeds. Coated in a honey-butter mixture and topped with chocolate chips, they’re perfect for a quick bite or on-the-go snack.
In a medium pot over medium heat, melt the butter, honey, and brown sugar, stirring until it starts to bubble. Take it off the heat. Stir in the peanut or almond butter, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and salt until fully combined.
Add the oats, then the rice cereal and seeds. Mix until evenly coated. Transfer to a parchment-lined loaf pan (9x13).
Sprinkle chocolate chips on top. Fold the parchment over and press down firmly.
Refrigerate for 1-2 hours until firm, then slice into bars. Store in an airtight container in the fridge.
Serve and enjoy!
