Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup quick oats (not instant or old-fashioned) certified gluten-free if needed
  • 1/3 cup rice flour
  • 2 tbsp cocoa powder
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/8 tsp baking soda
  • 3 tbsp mini chocolate chips dairy-free if needed
  • 1/4 cup canola oil
  • 2 tbsp water

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 300 degrees F. Line an 8x8 inch baking pan with aluminum foil or parchment paper.
  • In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together dry ingredients, including mini chocolate chips.
  • Add canola oil and water and stir until thoroughly combined. This will result in a crumbly mixture.
  • Pour into prepared pan and press down into place. Score into 8 bars (2x4) with a knife or dough scraper.
  • Bake for 40 minutes, then remove from oven and rescore the bars. Bake for 10 more minutes. Let cool and enjoy!

Notes

For soft-baked chocolate granola bars, only bake for a total of 40 minutes.
For chocolate granola clusters, let cool and then break into pieces.
To double the recipe, please use a 10x15 inch pan to get perfectly crispy granola bars.
