Chocolate Chip Yogurt Granola Bars

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8x8-inch (20x20 cm) baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.

2. 2

   In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, chopped walnuts, raisins, and salt. Stir to mix evenly.

3. 3

   In a separate bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, honey, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.

4. 4

   Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients. Stir until everything is evenly coated and combined.

5. 5

   Gently fold in the mini dark chocolate chips, reserving a tablespoon to sprinkle on top if desired.

6. 6

   Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking pan. Press it down firmly and evenly using a spatula or the back of a spoon.

7. 7

   Sprinkle the reserved chocolate chips on top and gently press them into the surface.

8. 8

   Bake in the preheated oven for 22-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center is set.

9. 9

   Remove from the oven and let cool completely in the pan. Once cooled, lift out using the parchment overhang and cut into bars.

    Store the granola bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or refrigerate for longer freshness.
