I ended up making two batches. First batch, I used my original recipe and just doubled the amount of honey. Oven was set to 300 degrees and I let them bake for 30 minutes:


Rule #1: BE PATIENT and let them cool COMPLETELY. I only waited 20 minutes and realized one started to crumble, so I stopped and let them continue cooling for another 40 minutes.
These came out chewy, which is what a granola bar should be.
Then I made another batch and this time, removed the coconut oil and left the honey (still doubling it). Once done, I let them cool for an hour. They easily popped out of the molds and they came out a bit crunchier, but still a bit chewy at the same time.
So either way, double the honey and leave/keep coconut oil. DH is excited because using this recipe, I can toss in choc. chips or nuts. Experiment with flavors. Overall a win!
