• 2 tablespoons Chia seeds

📝 Instructions

9 steps

1. Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal later.

2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, chopped almonds, pumpkin seeds, chia seeds, dried cranberries, and dark chocolate chips. Mix well to distribute evenly.

3. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the peanut butter and honey. Microwave on high for 20-30 seconds or until softened. Stir until smooth and incorporated.

4. Add the vanilla extract and salt to the peanut butter mixture and stir again.

5. Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients in the large mixing bowl. Use a wooden spoon or spatula to mix until everything is evenly coated and sticky.

6. Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking pan. Press down firmly with the back of a spoon or your hands (use a piece of parchment paper to prevent sticking), ensuring the mixture is compact and even.

7. Cover the pan with plastic wrap or foil and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until firm.

8. Once set, remove the block of bars from the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Place on a cutting board and slice into 12 equal bars.

9. Store the Boost Bars in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week or in the freezer for longer storage.
