Ingredients
- Cooking spray
- 2 1/2 cups rolled oats (225 grams)
- 2 tablespoons ground flax seed (14 grams)
- 1/2 cup crumbled digestive biscuits (60 grams)
- 1/2 cup finely chopped walnuts (65 grams)
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips (60 grams)
- 1/4 cup brown sugar (50 grams)
- 1/4 cup honey (85 grams)
- 1/4 cup golden corn syrup (85 grams)
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter (85 grams)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 3/4 cup mini marshmallows, optional (40 grams)
Instructions
- Grease a 9-inch square baking pan with cooking spray, line the bottom with parchment paper and set aside.
- Combine the oats, flax seed, digestive biscuits, walnuts and chocolate chips in a large heat-proof bowl.
- Combine the sugar, honey, corn syrup and butter in a small saucepan set over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the butter melts and the mixture starts to boil. Once it has come to a light boil, cook the mixture for 2 minutes to dissolve the sugar.
- Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the vanilla and kosher salt. Add to the oat mixture and stir to combine. Stir in the marshmallows, if using.
- Scrape the mixture into your prepared pan and press firmly into an even layer. Place the pan in the fridge for about 1 hour to firm up.
- Carefully lift the granola bars out of the pan and slice into 12 equal bars. Wrap individually in parchment, wax paper or plastic wrap and place in a tightly sealed container.
- For a chewier bar, store in the fridge. For softer bars, store in the cupboard.

These bars are delicious and I had all the ingredients in my pantry so it was the perfect recipe for me. Thank you, Mary, I greatly enjoy your show.
These are delicious! I followed the recipe exactly and would not change a thing. Will definitely make again and again. Keeper!
What are digestive biscuits and where do you buy them?
My husband read this recipe I had put on the kitchen counter. “These sound good, are you going to make them?” Well I did. Whoohoo! They were fantastic! Great snack or quick breakfast.
Sorry to be pre-emptive here….but going to make these today…..and yah….they look so good!
These bars are delicious and easy to make! I used roughly chopped almonds instead of walnuts. I will definitely make these again!
