Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 0.333 cup honey or maple syrup
- 0.5 cup peanut butter (or almond butter)
- 1 cup dried mixed fruits (such as cranberries, apricots, or raisins)
- 0.5 cup chopped nuts or seeds (such as almonds, walnuts, or sunflower seeds)
Instructions
Line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the edges for easy removal.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, dried mixed fruits, and chopped nuts or seeds. Stir until evenly distributed.
In a microwave-safe bowl or small saucepan, gently warm the peanut butter and honey (or maple syrup) until melted and smooth. Stir to combine.
Pour the peanut butter and honey mixture over the dry ingredients in the mixing bowl. Mix thoroughly, making sure all the oats and fruits are coated.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish. Use a spatula or the back of a spoon to press it down firmly and evenly.
Refrigerate the dish for at least 2 hours, or until the mixture is firm enough to cut.
Once set, lift the bars out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Cut into 12 equal-sized bars.
Store the bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week, or freeze for up to one month.
