This is the perfect batch of homemade chocolate chip granola bars. They're the ideal portable snack that strikes a balance between sweet and salty. But most importantly - they nail that chewy texture we all know and love in a classic granola bar.

You know I always look for ways to give a healthy, homemade spin to packaged foods. So today, it was about time I made my own chewy chocolate granola bar recipe! And one that's naturally gluten-free (of course). These healthy granola bars are the perfect snack idea for the afternoon munchies or back-to-school lunch boxes. Enjoy!

  • Honestly, this is the first time that a recipe on YouTube actually blew me away and broke every expectations I had! It’s so balanced, tasty and easy to do. I’ve been cooking for ever and there’s always some sort of adjustment that can be made to recipes and or things to change to your own taste, but this one, I’ll always gonna follow it to a T religiously 😂. It’s already my 3rd batch in 2 days, thank you so much!

    I made these yesterday and they taste amazing. Gauranteed to cure any sweet tooth or chocolate craving with heathy ingredients. Quick and easy. The hardest part was waiting for them to cool and then set in the fridge. Downshiftology never disappoints. Thanks for another great recipe to put in rotation with my other Downshiftology favs.
  • I love granola bars, my healthy food on my busiest day / food on the go. Thanks Lisa for another great recipe ❤
  • Made this tonight, the family loved them. Thank you for this recipe!

    Well I finally made these last week and they are literally, hands-down, the best bar I've ever had. I stored them in a glass container and the bits that were left over on the bottom I dumped on top of my yogurt. I will be making another batch tomorrow for my meal prep!
  • Yummy! 😋 Thank you Lisa for all your hard work with these delicious recipes ☺️
  • Thank you for a great recipe! I just made 2 batches-one with peanut butter and one with almond butter. Did not have puffed rice so I used shredded, unsweetened coconut. The bars turned out so good!! Great videos! Much gratitude!!
