Ingredients:

2 cups old-fashioned oats
1 cup crispy rice cereal
1/2 cup chopped nuts (such as almonds or walnuts)
1/4 cup ground flaxseed
1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup almond butter (or any nut butter of your choice)
1/4 cup coconut oil
1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
1 tablespoon instant coffee granules (dissolved in 1 tablespoon hot water)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup dark chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions:

Prep the Pan:
Line a square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the sides. This will make it easier to lift the bars out later.

Mix Dry Ingredients:
In a large mixing bowl, combine oats, crispy rice cereal, chopped nuts, and ground flaxseed. Mix well.

Prepare Wet Ingredients:
In a saucepan over medium heat, combine honey, almond butter, coconut oil, brown sugar, dissolved instant coffee, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir until the mixture is well combined and starts to bubble.

Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:
Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients. Stir until everything is well coated.

Add Chocolate Chips (Optional):
If you're using chocolate chips, fold them into the mixture while it's still warm. The heat will melt some of the chocolate, creating a deliciously gooey texture.

Press into Pan:
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking pan. Use a spatula or your hands to press it down firmly and create an even layer.

Chill:
Place the pan in the refrigerator and let it chill for at least 2 hours, or until the bars are firm.

Cut into Bars:
Lift the set mixture out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Place it on a cutting board and cut into bars of your desired size.

Store:
Store the coffee granola bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week or in the refrigerator for longer freshness.

These coffee-infused granola bars are a perfect on-the-go snack or a quick breakfast option. Enjoy the blend of coffee flavor and wholesome goodness in every bite!
