Chewy Yoghurt Granola Bars

Bars:

Yoghurt topping:

Bars:
Preheat the oven to 170°C and line a 28 cm x 18 cm x 4 cm high baking tray with baking paper leaving flaps on either side to easily transfer the bars to a cooling rack.

Spread the oats, coconut flakes and sunflower seeds out on a baking sheet. Toast in oven for about 10 minutes or until golden. Leave to cool.

Heat the honey, peanut butter, vanilla essence and salt together. Add to the oats mixture and mix well.

Spoon into the prepared dish and press in firmly. Bake for 15 minutes.

Transfer to a cooling rack and leave to cool completely.

Yoghurt topping:
Whisk the melted chocolate and the yoghurt together until smooth.

To serve:
Spread the bars with the yoghurt topping and store in an airtight container.
*Should you prefer a crunchier granola bar; only spread the yoghurt topping just before serving and store the uncoated bars in an airtight container.

HINTS & TIPS:

• Add 125 ml cranberries or raisins to the toasted oats mixture.
• Add 60 ml chopped apricots and 125 ml chopped almonds to the toasted oat mixture.
