Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Rolled oats
- 1 cup Almonds, chopped
- 1 cup Pumpkin seeds
- 1 cup Dried cranberries
- 0.5 cup Ground flaxseed
- 1 cup Smooth peanut butter (or almond butter)
- 0.75 cup Honey
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 0.5 cup Dark chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving extra paper hanging over the edges for easy removal.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, chopped almonds, pumpkin seeds, dried cranberries, ground flaxseed, and cinnamon. Stir to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the peanut butter and honey. Microwave for 30 seconds, then stir. Repeat in 15-second increments, if necessary, until the mixture is warm and well combined. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Pour the peanut butter and honey mixture over the dry ingredients. Use a spatula to mix until all the dry ingredients are fully coated and sticky.
If using chocolate chips, gently fold them into the mixture once it has cooled slightly to prevent melting.
Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking pan. Press it firmly down into an even layer using the back of a spatula or your hands (rub your hands with a little oil to prevent sticking).
Place the pan in the refrigerator and let the mixture chill for at least 2 hours or until firm.
Remove the block of energy bars from the pan by lifting the parchment paper. Place it on a cutting board and cut into 16 equal bars or squares.
Store the energy bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks or freeze them for longer storage.
