Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Rolled oats
- 1 cup Almonds
- 1 cup Peanut butter
- 1 cup Honey
- 1 cup Chopped dried fruits (e.g., cranberries, apricots, or raisins)
- 2 tablespoons Chia seeds
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Dark chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
Line an 8x8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving a bit of overhang for easy removal later.
Roughly chop the almonds until they are in bite-sized pieces (or pulse in a food processor for a few seconds).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, chopped almonds, dried fruits, chia seeds, and salt. Stir well to ensure an even distribution of ingredients.
In a medium microwave-safe bowl, add the peanut butter and honey. Microwave the mixture in 15-second increments, stirring after each, until it is smooth and easy to mix. This should take about 30-45 seconds.
Stir the vanilla extract into the warm peanut butter and honey mixture.
Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients in the large mixing bowl. Stir with a sturdy spatula or your hands (if needed) until everything is thoroughly coated.
If using dark chocolate chips, fold them into the mixture once it has cooled slightly to prevent melting.
Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking pan and press it firmly and evenly into the pan using the back of a spatula or your hands. Be sure to compact it well so the bars hold together.
Refrigerate the pan for at least 2 hours, or until the mixture is firm to the touch.
Remove the chilled mixture from the pan using the parchment overhang and place it on a cutting board. Slice into 12 bars or your desired portion size.
Store the bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or freeze them for longer storage. Enjoy as a quick, healthy snack or breakfast on the go!
