Can I Use Another Type of Oil?
For this recipe, no. When coconut oil is melted, it will cool as a solid. The solid will be needed for the texture of the recipe.
Chocolate Chips?
If desired, you can replace the chocolate chips with chopped mix nuts or dried fruit.
Why is There an Egg White?
I have found that without it, my granola bars were too crumbly and not sticking together that well. The egg white helps bind it all together.
Storage
- Keep any leftovers in a covered container. You don't have to refrigerate, unless your weather is really hot/humid. These are best eaten within a week.
- Freezing: You can freeze these! After cooling the fully baked bars, store them in a freezer safe/covered container or storage bag. They will stay good for several months.
