Equipment

Ingredients

2 cups (160 grams) quick oats
½ cup (100 grams) sourdough starter discard
½ cup (80 grams) mini chocolate chips
½ cup (70 grams) unsalted dry roasted peanuts finely chopped
6 tablespoons (126 grams) honey
6 tablespoons (96 grams) smooth natural peanut butter I used unsalted and added 1 teaspoon of kosher salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½-1 teaspoon kosher salt to taste

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350℉. Lightly grease an 8-inch square pan and line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the quick oats, sourdough starter discard, mini chocolate chips, roasted peanuts, honey, peanut butter, vanilla extract, and kosher salt. Stir everything together until well combined and evenly distributed.
Transfer the granola bar mixture to the prepared pan. Press it evenly into the pan, making sure to spread it out into the corners.
Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the edges begin to turn lightly golden brown.
Allow the granola bars to cool in the pan for at least 30 minutes.
After cooling, use the parchment paper to lift the baked granola bars out of the pan. Cut into 12 equal-sized portions.
You can serve the granola bars immediately or let them cool completely before storing them in an airtight container.

Notes

Don't have an 8-inch square pan? Don't fret! Just double the recipe and use a 9-inch x 13-inch pan instead.
Storage: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
