Directions
- Preheat the oven to 350° Fahrenheit. Line a baking pan with parchment paper.

- Heat the butter, vanilla, and honey in a saucepan until the butter melts. Whisk together.

- Spoon the oat mixture onto the lined baking pan. Grease your hands with oil and press the mixture into a rectangle shape, about 8 x 4“.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes.
- Remove the granola rectangle from the oven and sprinkle the chocolate chips evenly over the top. Place it back in the oven for 30 seconds.
- Remove from the oven and use a spatula to spread the melted chocolate chips evenly over the granola rectangle.
