Dark Chocolate Chip Granola Bars

These granola bars are quite crunchy. They are not the chewy type bar that you get in grocery stores.
In our household, we could not get enough of them! They are absolutely delicious! You can always substitute the chocolate chips and coconut for other ingredients, such as seeds, dried fruit etc. Be creative.

2 cups oats
3 tbsp spelt flour
¼ cup shredded unsweetened coconut
½ cup dark chocolate chips
¼ tsp sea salt
¼ cup olive oil
1 tsp vanilla
1/3 cup agave syrup

Preheat oven to 325 F.
In a large bowl, combine oats, flour, coconut, chocolate chips and sea salt. Stir until combined. In a small bowl combine oil vanilla and agave syrup. Mix well.
Combine the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients. Press into a 13x9 pan lined with parchment paper. Bake for 40 minutes. Let cool for about 10 before removing from the pan. Cut and serve.
