It has been a long time since I have made homemade granola bars. I have been wanting to make some but wanted to try a new recipe. I found one on allrecipes.com that I decided to try. I read quite a few of the comments that people had made and decided to change a few things. I used several of the suggestions and came up with a version of my own.
I know this is not the healthiest of granola bars, but it was quick and easy. I also think it is still cheaper then most of the ones you can get in the store, and they are not all that healthier either. 🙂 So just think of them as more of a dessert then a healthy snack. 🙂
Easy Granola Bars
- 4 1/2 cups quick-cooking oats
- 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
- 2 tablespoons butter melted
- 1/2 cup peanut butter
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix all ingredients together. Press into a greased 9×13 pan. Bake for 20 minutes or until lightly browned around the edges. If you brown them too much the will be crisp granola bars. Let cool 5 minutes and then cut. Let cool completely before eating. ( I ate them while they will still warm and was not very impressed with them, I then tried them after they had cooled completely and I really thought they were good. So let them cool! )
