Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups rolled oats
- 1/2 cup roasted whole almonds chopped
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/3 cup honey
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1/2 cup dried cranberries
- 3/4 cup mini chocolate chips divided
Instructions
- Line an (8 x 11 Inch) baking pan with parchment paper and cooking spray. Set aside.
- Mix together oats, brown sugar, almonds, and salt in a medium bowl (exclude 1/4 cup chocolate chips)
- Turn instant pot to sauté. Melt butter and honey together.
- Stir until it begins to bubble.
- Let bubble for 2 minutes, until it starts to darken.
- Turn instant pot off and mix in vanilla.
- Pour wet mixture over dry mixture.
- Mix well.
- Mix in cranberries
- Mix in 1/2 cup chocolate chips. They will be melty, it’s okay.
- Pour granola bar mixture into prepared baking pan.
- Using a spatula, press firmly into the pan. Spend about a minute pressing it into the pan - this helps prevent them from being crumbly.

- Press in again.
- Refrigerate 2 hours.
- Cut into rectangles and enjoy.
- Store in an air-tight container, 5-7 days.
