Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Rolled oats
- 0.5 cup Honey
- 0.5 cup Creamy peanut butter
- 0.5 cup Chopped almonds
- 0.5 cup Dried cranberries
- 0.25 cup Mini chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons Ground flaxseed
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the honey and peanut butter. Microwave in 20-second increments, stirring in between, until the mixture is smooth and easy to combine.
Stir the vanilla extract and salt into the honey-peanut butter mixture.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, chopped almonds, dried cranberries, ground flaxseed, and mini chocolate chips.
Pour the warm honey-peanut butter mixture over the dry ingredients. Mix thoroughly until everything is evenly coated.
Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish, pressing it down firmly and evenly using the back of a spoon or a flat spatula.
Refrigerate the dish for at least 2 hours, or until the mixture is firm and set.
Using the parchment paper overhang, lift the mixture out of the baking dish and place it on a cutting board.
Cut into 12 rectangular bars using a sharp knife.
Store the breakfast bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Enjoy them as a quick breakfast or snack!
