Coconut oil makes this granola bars recipe wonderfully soft and chewy. It also adds a hint of coconut flavor to these bars, which goes beautifully with the chocolate chips and rolled oats.Feel free to substitute your favorite nuts or granola bar mix-ins for the chocolate chips, walnuts and coconut. Sweetened dried cranberries or raisins would make a nice addition to this recipe. So would chopped, toasted almonds or chopped peanuts.
