INGREDIENTS
- 7 tablespoons (99 grams) butter
- 6 tablespoons tahini, well-stirred
- 1/3 cup honey
- 1/4 cup (53 grams) light brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup (99 grams) old-fashioned oats
- 1 cup (89 grams) quick-cooking oats
- 1–1/2 cups (42 grams) brown rice cereal
- 3 tablespoons ground flaxseed
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- 2 tablespoons hemp hearts
- 2 tablespoons sesame seeds, plus extra for sprinkling the tops
- Pinch of kosher salt
- 1 cup (170 grams) mini chocolate chips
CHOCOLATE DRIZZLE:
- 1/2 cup (85 grams) semisweet chocolate, coarsely chopped
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
Instructions
- Line a 9 x 13-inch baking pan with parchment paper to form handles to lift the granola bars out. Spray the paper with nonstick cooking spray.
- In a small saucepan, combine the butter, tahini, honey and brown sugar over medium heat. Melt together, whisking frequently, until the mixture is smooth. Let cool to room temperature before proceeding.
- Combine the old-fashioned and quick-cooking oats, brown rice cereal, flaxseed, chia seeds, hemp hearts, sesame seeds and salt in a large mixing bowl. When the tahini mixture is cool, pour over the oats and stir with a spatula, ensuring all the ingredients are coated. Gently stir in the mini chocolate chips. Press the granola mixture into the prepared baking pan, using your fingers to press into an even layer. Sprinkle the tops with sesame seeds. Drizzle with the chocolate mixture and refrigerate for at least 4 hours. Use the parchment handles to remove the bars from the pan; cut into 12 even rectangles.
