Equipment

Ingredients

¾ cup Sunbutter or other seed butter
⅓ cup honey or maple syrup or brown rice syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups crispy rice cereal
1.5 cups quick oats
¼ cup mini chocolate chips divided

Instructions

To a large bowl, add Sunbutter, honey, and vanilla extract. Stir until combined. Add the crispy rice cereal, quick oats, and 3 tablespoons of the mini chocolate chips. Stir until the cereals are evenly coated with the Sunbutter mixture.
3/4 cup Sunbutter, 1/3 cup honey, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 2 cups crispy rice cereal, 1.5 cups quick oats, 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips
Line an 8x8 (or even 9x9) pan with parchment paper. Add the granola mixture to the prepared pan. Use a rubber spatula (or clean hands) to firmly press the mixture into an even layer.
Sprinkle the remaining tablespoon of mini chocolate chips on top of the granola bars and press them into the bars.
1/4 cup mini chocolate chips
Refrigerate for 30 minutes before transferring to a cutting board and slicing into 12 bars.
You can enjoy immediately, or refrigerate and enjoy within 1-2 weeks.

Notes

Note that while there are no ingredients requiring refrigeration, I do recommend keeping the granola bars refrigerated so they hold their shape and keep longer.
