Matcha Peanut Butter Granola Bars

My boys LOVE green tea!  I thought they'd like this, in their lunchboxes.
Ingredients:

    - 1/2 cup natural peanut butter
    - 1/3 cup local honey
    - 1/4 cup coconut oil
    - 1 1/2 cups oats
    - 1 1/2 Tablespoons wheat germ
    - 1 Tablespoon matcha powder
    - 1/2 cup ground flax seed
    - 1/4 cup peanuts
    - 1/4 cup chocolate chips


Directions:

    - Melt the peanut butter, honey, and coconut oil in a small sauce pan over low heat making sure to stir constantly. It should only take a minute or two to melt the mixture together.
    - In a mixing bowl, combine  matcha and the remainder of the ingredients, except for chocolate chips, and stir well.
    - Add the melted liquid mixture over the dry mixture and stir until well combined.
    - Let the combined ingredients cool in bowl for several minutes.
    - Take the mixture and place it into a 8×8 or 12x12 pan covered in foil and press down firmly.
    - Sprinkle the chocolate chips over top and press down firmly with hands to make sure they stick.
    - Place the pan in the refrigerator and let it cool for 20 minutes
    - Take the pan out of the refrigerator and take the mixture out of the pan and onto a cutting board. Cut the bars into the sizes you desire.
    - Store in fridge for best results and enjoy!
