Chewy Chocolate Granola Bars

Healthy Chocolate Granola Bars Recipe Notes
These chocolatey, chewy granola bars are kind of like a raw brownie! The mixture is made from oats, toasted almonds, pitted dates, shredded coconut, cocoa powder, cashew butter, maple syrup, vanilla & sea salt. It gets pressed into a 9"x13" pan with a generous sprinkling of mini chocolate chips pressed into the top. I like to sprinkle the top with extra sea salt before eating. My recipe was inspired by brownie granola bars by the Minimalist Baker. 

Why I love these raw brownie like granola bars

• Because granola bars that remind you of brownies are delicious.
• They are no bake, except I do toast the oats and nuts in oven for 10 minutes.
• Granola bars (especially homemade chocolatey ones with oats and nuts and coconut) make a delicious, quick grab and go breakfast or snack.
• They satisfy my chocolate cravings in a healthy way.
• Naturally sweetened treats using dates and maple syrup are my fav. 
• They are wonderfully chewy.
• They are made using whole food ingredients

I use mini chocolate chips to press into the top of these granola bars. (I wouldn't use regular sized chips here.) I use Enjoy Life brand in this recipe.
