Lunchbox granola bars

Preheat the oven to 170°C. Line a 27 cm x 18 cm baking dish with baking paper.

Place ½ cup of the rolled oats into a food processor and process until a rough flour forms. Place oat flour into a large bowl with the remaining rolled oats, rice bubbles, coconut, chia seeds and baking soda.

Place the coconut oil and honey into a small saucepan. Heat over medium heat, stirring, until the mixture has melted and combined.

Pour into the bowl of dry ingredients and mix well. Transfer into the prepared baking dish then press down firmly using the back of a spoon. This will help the bars hold together.

Bake in the preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes until golden brown all over. Remove from the oven and press down again with the back of a spoon to make it firmer.

Cool on a rack for 10 minutes then score the surface into 12 bars with a sharp knife. This will help to cut the slice into perfect bars once it cools fully. Once cooled to room temperature, chill for 1 to 2 hours before fully cutting the bars.

Drizzle with melted chocolate if desired. Store refrigerated in an airtight container.
