Steps

10 mins

1

Line a 9 - 13 inch baking pan with aluminum foil. Then spray the foil lightly with a nonstick cooking spray.
2

Combine the butter, light brown sugar, and honey in a large pot. Then bring it to a boil over medium high heat. Stir constantly to avoid burning.
3

Lower the heat to allow the mixture to thicken, then remove the pan away from the heat and add the salt and vanilla.
4

Next begin adding the Instant Oats, Rice Krispies, almonds, and flax meal (or wheat germ). Mix it all by folding the ingredients together using a rubber spatula.
5

Next spread and press the mixture into the baking pan along with the chocolate chips on the top.
6

Make sure the mixture is firmly compacted within the pan, then place it into the refrigerator for about 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
7

After the granola is refrigerated place it onto a cutting board and cut into small rectangles.
8

Store bars in an airtight container and layer the bars with parchment paper or foil.
