Hey everyone, it is Jim, welcome to our recipe site. Today, we’re going to make a distinctive dish, millet chocolate granola bars. One of my favorites food recipes. For mine, I am going to make it a bit tasty. This is gonna smell and look delicious.

Millet Chocolate Granola Bars is one of the most popular of recent trending foods on earth. It is simple, it’s quick, it tastes delicious. It is appreciated by millions every day. Millet Chocolate Granola Bars is something that I’ve loved my whole life. They are nice and they look fantastic.

But my favorite use for millet is as the backbone for homemade breakfast bars as is the case with today's recipe. These bars come from the pages of Feast: Generous Vegetarian Meals for any Eater and Every Appetite, a cookbook by my friend Sarah Copeland. Since we're talking whole grains, I don't know many food writers who work magic with grains in the way that.

To get started with this recipe, we have to prepare a few ingredients. You can have millet chocolate granola bars using 11 ingredients and 6 steps. Here is how you cook that.

The ingredients needed to make Millet Chocolate Granola Bars:
  1. Make ready oats
  2. Take oats, finely ground, or 1/4 cup oat flour
  3. Prepare dried unsweetened shredded coconut
  4. Get millet flakes
  5. Prepare salt
  6. Take ground cinnamon (optional)
  7. Get (about 140 grams) chopped dried fruit
  8. Prepare chopped dark chocolate or chocolate chips
  9. Take peanut butter
  10. Prepare olive oil or coconut oil, warmed until liquefied
  11. Take (about 85 grams) honey or golden syrup

I figured the crunchiness it adds to the banana bread might work in the granola bars too, and it really does. These millet granola bars are gently flavored with dark chocolate and South Indian Arabica Coffee Decoction. After continually trying to over complicate things, I finally settled on a classic peanut butter and dark chocolate combo, with a layer of chewy puffed millet underneath. With all this information in hand, making the best of the millet in my pantry seemed like the wisest thing to do yesterday.

Steps to make Millet Chocolate Granola Bars:
  1. Heat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8-by-8 inch square pan with two sheets of parchment paper, extending each up two sides, forming a “sling” for your bars to make them easy to remove.
  2. In a large bowl, combine oats, oat flour or ground oats, coconut, millet, salt, cinnamon (if using), dried fruit and chocolate. In a separate, small bowl, whisk together peanut butter, oil and sweetener of choice until smooth.
  3. Pour wet mixture into dry and stir until combined. Transfer to prepared pan, spreading until flat, then use an addition square of parchment paper to protect your hand as you press, press, pressthe ingredients tightly into all corners of the pan, until they can be pressed no flatter.
  4. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until the tops are golden and the edges are light brown. Let cool completely before cutting; they’ll be even easier to cut without crumbling if you chill them in the fridge first, so feel free to cool them there.
  5. Once cool, use the parchment “sling” to lift bars from pan and transfer to cutting board. Use a sharp, serrated knife in a very gentle sawing motion to cut bars into desired sizes (I usually go for 16 2×2-inch squares).
  6. Bars will keep at room temperature for up to a week in an airtight container

So, it soon played a key role in these chocolate energy bars inspired from Green Kitchen Stories, which were pure bliss. Because they are loaded with magnesium and unrefined sugar from dates, they make the perfect choice for a pre-workout snack (they look a bit melted.
