How to Make Your Favorite Flavor Granola Bars

  1. Preheat oven to 320°F (160°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
  2. In a saucepan or microwave-safe bowl, melt margarine and honey together. Stir until smooth.
  3. In a large bowl, combine oats, flour, baking powder, and salt.
  4. Pour the melted margarine and honey mixture into the dry ingredients. Mix well to combine.
  5. Add your choice of optional ingredients: chopped peanuts, peanut butter, cinnamon, cloves, ginger, nuts, or chips. Mix thoroughly.
  6. If substituting, add maple syrup and brown sugar instead of honey and white sugar.
  7. Press the mixture firmly into the prepared baking sheet.
  8. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and set. The granola bars will puff up slightly.
  9. Remove from the oven and immediately sprinkle half a bag of your favorite chips evenly over the top.
  10. Let stand for 1 minute, then gently spread the chips using a spatula.
  11. While still warm, cut into squares.
  12. Cool completely before serving. Granola bars taste great hot or cold!
  13. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, or freeze for longer storage.
