Homemade Granola Bars

I'd like to share this amazing granola bar recipe that I found on Tasty Kitchen. I've tried several recipes over the years and have always been disappointed by the taste and/or texture -- until this one, which scores high on both.

GRANOLA SQUARES

• ½ cups Melted Unsalted Butter
• 1 cup Packed Light Brown Sugar
• ¼ cups Granulated Sugar
• 1 whole Egg
• 1 Tablespoon Vanilla Extract
• 2 Tablespoons Honey
• 1-½ cup Quick Oats
• 1 cup Flour
• 1-¼ cup Rice Krispies
• 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
• ½ teaspoons Baking Powder
• ¼ teaspoons Salt
• 1 cup Chocolate Chips
• 1 cup Chopped Pecans
  

1. Cream butter and sugars together in a large bowl.
2. Add egg, vanilla, and honey.
3. In a separate bowl, mix together all dry ingredients.
4. Pour wet ingredients into the dry mix bowl and mix well.
5. Press granola into a greased baking pan (I use a 9 x 12” but if you’d like thinner bars, go with a bigger pan).
6. Bake at 350 F for 15-20 minutes or when the top is very light brown.
7. Let cool and cut into squares or bars.

Enjoy!
