Chocolate and peanut butter are a classic combo that never gets old, and it's extra tasty in these Peanut Butter Granola Bars drizzled with melty chocolate and sprinkled with flaked sea salt.
Flaked sea salt for sprinkling over the top of the frosted bars
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350ºF.
Spread the oats evenly over a cookie sheet and toast for 10-15 minutes or until lightly golden. Stir the oats halfway through the cooking time to make sure they toast evenly.
Let the oats cool for 10-15 minutes.
Next, combine the wet ingredients on the stove top in a large pot over medium heat until hot, but not boiling.
Spread the mixture evenly over a parchment lined half size cookie sheet (or spread the mixture halfway down a regular cookie sheet). Let the granola bars set up at room temperature for a couple of hours or refrigerate to firm up faster.
While the granola bars set up, melt the chocolate chips together with the teaspoon of avocado oil over low heat stirring constantly.
Cut the granola bars into 1.5"x3" bars for a total of 24 bars.
Drizzle the melted chocolate over the granola bars. Let the chocolate set up partially, then sprinkle with sea salt.
Let the granola bars set up fully at room temperature or in the refrigerator before stacking together in a container.
