For a fruitier variation, substitute dried cranberries, chopped apricots, or raisins for the chocolate chips. If you prefer a smoother texture, pulse the oats and nuts in the food processor a few times before mixing with the other ingredients. Store the granola bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week, or in the freezer for longer storage.
