Homemade Chocolate Chip Granola Bars

July 1, 2016 By Channing 2 Comments

You guys, it is Friday! Yay for Friday!

Can I just tell you that I am loving summer! I am loving being home with the kids (most of the time), I love that I am getting stuff done around the house and I am loving getting to sleep in (by sleep in I mean 7:30). 

One thing I am not loving is the amount of food my family is consuming on a daily basis. I seriously do not understand how 3 small humans consume so much food.I am literally at the grocery store on a daily basis.

You know how it goes though, kids want snacks. They want snacks full of junk! It’s so hard as a mom to find snacks and food that is good for your family but also healthy. This past week I have started making more make ahead snacks that the kids can grab and go. I know what is in them and that makes me feel much better about what they are eating.

One of our favorites has quickly become these Homemade Chocolate Chip Granola Bars!

 

Delicious granola bar recipe and easy to make. These were a hit with my kids!

These granola bars are chewy, chocolately and oh so delicious. They are super easy to make and are gobbled up as quickly as I can make them! Here is what you need to make your own.

Ingredients:

3 cups rolled oats (quick cook)

1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

1/3 cup raisins

1/2 cup light brown sugar

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup room temp butter

1/4 cup honey

1/2 teaspoon real vanilla extract

Delicious granola bar recipe and easy to make. These were a hit with my kids!

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large mixing bowl add all ingredients and mix well. Spread the granola mixture in a 9X13 pan and spread evenly with a spatula.

Bake for 18 to 20 minutes and until granola is light brown. Let cool for at least 30 min.

Cut granola into even squares and enjoy!

Instagram post 17864637601827512 This is what happens on day number 3,568,743 of quarantine: ice cream sundaes for DINNER. We have been spending endless time together and decided it was time to start a new family tradition, so we picked up the new DIY Sundae Kit from @baskinrobbins! The kit comes with 2 pre-packed quarts of ice cream, 3 toppings, an entire can of whipped cream and cherries! Ice
cream for dinner will now be a weekly staple. The kids are definitely not complaining! It’s a fun day with a Sundae! 
Comment below and tell me your favorite Baskin Robbins flavor!

Instagram post 17850899390014309 Disney is challenging us to share our first pictures with characters! I had to join in the fun and it was the best trip down memory lane. Disney has been threaded throughout my entire life. I pulled a few of my most favorite memories over the years. From partying in the streets during the most epic dance party and meeting our most favorite princesses to me being a kid at Disney myself. Oh, I also had to add a picture of Cinderella’s Castle. She really is the most beautiful cast member of them all! 
@waltdisneyworld we miss you more and more each day. You’ve brought us joy beyond words and we cannot wait for the day when we get to walk down Main Street USA again! 
Ok, now it’s your turn. Find your old photos of your favorite Disney characters and share the magic. Also, don’t forget to tag me. I want to see all your memories too!
