Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spread oats, quinoa, almonds, and chia seeds on a baking sheet.

  2. Toast in the preheated oven, stirring halfway through, until golden brown, about 15 minutes.

  3. Mix peanut butter, honey, and coconut oil together in a bowl until thoroughly combined. Mix in oat mixture, flaxseed meal, and salt until well combined. Press granola mixture into a 12x18-inch baking pan.

  4. Bake in the preheated oven until bars set, about 5 minutes. Remove from oven, sprinkle with chocolate chips. Bake until chocolate is just melted, about 5 minutes. Spread melted chocolate evenly over bars with a rubber spatula.

  5. Place in the freezer until chocolate is firm, about 20 minutes, cut into bars.
