Ingredients
- Vegetable cooking spray
- 1 egg white
- 1/2 cup chunky peanut butter
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/2 cup (1-stick) unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cups old fashioned oats
- 1/4 cup slivered almonds, toasted, *see Cook's Note
- 1/3 cup miniature chocolate chips
Directions
Position an oven rack in the middle of the oven. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Spray a 7 by 10 3/4-inch nonstick baking pan with vegetable cooking spray. Lay a 6 by 18-inch piece of parchment paper in the pan, allowing the excess paper to hang over the sides. Spray the parchment paper lightly with cooking spray.
In a medium bowl, using a hand beater, beat the egg white until frothy. Stir in the peanut butter, brown sugar, and honey. Add the melted butter, oats and almonds. Stir to combine, then add the chocolate chips.
Using a rubber spatula, spread mixture into the prepared baking pan, pressing lightly to form an even layer. Bake until the edge of the mixture begins to brown, about 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool for at least 1 hour. Cut into 1 1/2-inch squares and serve.
*Cook's Note: To toast almonds, arrange in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake in a preheated 350 degree F oven until lightly browned, about 8 to 10 minutes.

I made these for my family but added Raisins, dried apricots, cranberries and wheat germ everyone love it.. I tried to make another recipe but everyone asked for me to make this one again,, It's my families favorite.. So glad I found a simple granola recipe. We top pancakes with it and also eat it with yogurt. Delicious..

I read all the ratings and comments and decided I really wanted to try these anyway. They came out fantastic. I used 2/3 of a stick of butter but I didnt melt it, I used room temperature butter and I also used fresh peanutbutter from our local Whole Foods store. I pressed them into a greased pan instead of on parchment paper and I pressed them firmly in pan with wax paper from the top. I baked in our range which is gas for 18 min. I let cool completely and cut them into heavenly bars that we enjoyed for days. I would say maybe not melting the butter or try using room temp butter because they were delicious and well worth time and effort!
