Better Than Store Bought Granola Bars

With a house of allergies it is hard to find food that can satisfy everyone. I have been looking for a snack that is dairy free for my daughter, Peanut free for my husband, and something that will help my son put on some weight. This granola bar recipe below satisfies all my family members request. 

Better Than Store Bought Granola Bars

7 cups rolled oats
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup honey
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla
3/4 cup Wow butter peanut butter or regular peanut butter
2 cups melted dairy free chocolate. (I use Ghirardelli Dark Chocolate)

Combine 7 cups rolled oats, 1/2 cup oil, and 1 teaspoon salt. Lay flat on baking sheet and bake at 375 degrees for 20-25 min. Stiring every 10 min, until pal brown (keep an eye on them because they can burn real fast) 

In saucepan combine honey, brown sugar and peanut butter. Cook over medium heat for about 5 minutes until sugar is disolved, (Stir constantly)

Remove oats for oven and coat with Honey mixture. Stir with a large rubber spatula until oats are thoroughly coated.

Spred oats on baking sheet covered with parchment paper. Spray bottom of another baking sheet or square dish. Press firmly on oats until flat and tight. Bake until Golden Brown @ 300 for about 20-35 minutes. 

Remove from oven and let cook. Melt chocolate in microwave or saucepan. Spread evenly over granola.

After Chocolate has hardened cut into desirable pieces and serve. 

ENJOY!
