Chocolate Granola Bars by Chef Sanjyot Kheer

Ingredients:

Rolled Oats 2 cups

Almonds ½ Cup

Cashew ½ Cup

Walnuts ¼ (CHOPPED)

Pumpkin Seeds ½ cup

Sunflower seeds ½ cup

Flax seeds 2 TBSP

Dates 20

Dried Cranberry ¼ cups

Dried blueberry ¼ cups

Honey ½ Cup

Dark Chocolate 250 gms (Chopped)

Coconut Oil 1 tbsp

Method:

Set a pan over medium-high heat & add the rolled oats in it. Once the pan gets hot, toast the oats while stirring continuously until they get slightly golden. Later, transfer them into a large mixing bowl.

Set the pan back on the heat & then add the chopped almonds, cashews & walnuts, toast them while stirring until they get golden & then transfer them into the same bowl with the oats.

Further, set the pan back on heat & add all the seeds & toast them similarly, transfer the toasted seeds into the same mixing bowl as the oats & nuts.

Let all the toasted ingredients cool down completely, meanwhile, add the pitted dates into a mixer grinder jar & grind them into a finer paste, make sure you use soft dates as they are easier to grind.

Once the oats mixture cools down, add in the dried berries along with the honey & mix really well.

Further, add the date paste & combine everything using a spatula or your hands.

Once combined, transfer the mixture into a butter-paper lined baking tray & level it out using a spatula.

Then use a potato masher to press everything evenly, this step is very important as if you don’t press the mixture well then the bars will break while cutting them into pieces.

To level it out further, cover the surface with a plastic sheet or a clingwrap & move the rolling pin over it.

Place the tray inside the fridge for the bars to set while you melt the chocolate.

Place a heatproof bowl over a stockpot with boiling water, add the chopped dark chocolate & coconut oil, and stir until the chocolate melts.

Once the chocolate melts, remove it from the heat, get the tray from the fridge & pour the melted chocolate over the granola, and spread it out evenly using a spatula.

Place it back in the fridge & let it set for 4-5 hours or overnight.

Once set, de-mould it, remove the butter paper & cut it into bars according to your preference.

Your delicious, healthy & homemade chocolate granola bars are ready.
