More Granola bars! Chocolate orange-mmmm!


These were inspired by a granola bar my Mom used to buy. They are a little different than my previous recipe-Enjoy!

Choco-coco orange granola bars:

1 1/2 cups rolled oats, blended until flour-like
1/2 cup rolled oats
1 cup organic crisp rice cereal
1/8 tsp salt
1.2 tsp cinnamon
1 Tbsp orange zest
1/4 cup coconut + extra for sprinkling
1/3 + 1/4 cup honey
1/3 cup coconut milk
1 Tbsp Olive oil
1 large orange, segmented and sliced into small pieces
1/3 cup chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350.

Place orange pieces on a cookie sheet evenly. Place in oven for approx 15 minutes to dry.

Mix all dry ingredients together. Add all wet ingredients, and orange pieces. Mix until well combined.

Line a 9 inch bar pan with parchment paper. Press mixture into pan with a damp spatula. Sprinkle coconut on top and press down.

Cut bars into 12 pieces. Bake in oven for 18-20 minutes.

Let cool, cut again.

Melt chocolate chips in a double boiler. Dip the bottom of each bar into the chocolate, and remove any excess with spatula. Allow to harden.

Store in a cool place in an airtight container for up to a week.

HAPPY BAKING!
