5 Minute "Oh Crap Company Is Coming" No Bake Granola Bars

We've all had that moment. We are running around like crazy, trying to take care of kids and keep the house clean, and suddenly we remember: SOMEONE IS COMING OVER. You have no time to go to the store and only have about 10 minutes before the baby wakes up from the 20 minute power nap she decided to take. Well, we've got you covered! These granola bars can be made in 5 minutes using one bowl. YEP. They really are that simple. And kids and adults alike will love these! No one will suspect that you threw them together at the last second!

Ingredients:
1 cup Shredded Coconut
1 cup Chocolate Chips (use your preferred brand)
1/3 cup Coconut Oil
1/2 cup Flaxseed Meal
1/4 cup Pure Maple Syrup
2 cups Old Fashioned Oatmeal
1/2 cup Raisins
1 cup Peanut Butter (or alternative nut butter or sunbutter)

Directions:
1) Place peanut butter, coconut oil, maple syrup, and chocolate chips into a large microwave safe bowl. Microwave for 45 - 60 seconds on HIGH. Stir together.
2) Add all dry ingredients to the bowl and stir until well mixed.
3) Pour mixture into a glass or ceramic 13 x 9 baking dish and use a spoon to spread evenly.
4) Place in the fridge (or freezer if you are really running out of time!!) to cool!
5) After the mixture is completely solid, use a knife to cut into squares. ENJOY!

The beauty of this recipe is that you can adapt it to use anything you have on hand!! Don't like coconut? Add some extra oats or flaxseed! No raisins? Add other dried fruit and nuts! You can truly make this using whatever you have on hand, and it will come out amazing every time!
