I have made many a granola bar in my life. Some of them have been too crumbly, some of them have tasted really healthy but not been that delicious, but none of them have been quite as delicious and held together quite as well as these ones. I am pretty delighted to have finally stumbled upon the right combination.
I was on a quest to make the perfect granola bar, because these are a gift for one of my favorite people in the world and I wanted her to really really like them. They are en route, so keep your fingers crossed.
I found some major inspiration and guidance for these bars from the amazing blog theKitchn and then muddled around to make the rest. I made two batches of these, one with dark chocolate on top and one without. Even though the dark chocolate one would seem like the natural winner given how chocolate obsessed I am, I actually couldn’t decide they are both equally charming.
Simple. Nourishing. Delicious.
