Homemade Granola Bars #2

For the second post of my "Homemade" series, I tried out another granola bar recipe. I found this one on allrecipes.com. They have a more of a sweet taste than the first granola bar recipe because of the chocolate chips. I made them for my family and they all loved them. And this is really easy!

Ingredients

2 cups rolled oats

3/4 cup packed brown sugar

1/2 cup rice krispies

3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 cup all-purpose flour

3/4 cup mini chocolate chips

3/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup honey

1 egg, beaten

1/2 cup vegetable oil

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Generously grease a 9x13 inch baking pan.

2. In a large bowl, mix together the oats, brown sugar, rice krispies, cinnamon, flour, mini chocolate chips, and salt. 

3. Make a well in the center, and pour in the honey, egg, oil, and vanilla.

4. Mix well using your hands. Then evenly pat mixture into the prepared pan.

5. Bake for 30-35 minutes in the preheated oven, until the bars begin to turn golden at the edges. Cool for 5 minutes, then cut into bars while still warm. 

*Don't allow the bars to cool completely before cooling, or they may be too hard to cut.
