Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- 2 tablespoons flaxseeds
- 1 cup sliced almonds
- 0.5 cup pumpkin seeds
- 0.33 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- 0.5 cup dried cranberries
- 0.33 cup chopped dates
- 0.5 cup natural peanut butter
- 0.33 cup honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.33 cup dark chocolate chips
Instructions
Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal later.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, chia seeds, flaxseeds, sliced almonds, pumpkin seeds, shredded coconut, dried cranberries, and chopped dates. Mix well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
In a microwave-safe bowl, add the peanut butter and honey. Heat in 20-second intervals, stirring between each, until the mixture is warm and easy to pour.
Stir the vanilla extract and salt into the warm peanut butter and honey mixture.
Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients in the mixing bowl. Use a sturdy spatula or wooden spoon to thoroughly combine until everything is evenly coated.
Fold in the dark chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking pan. Use the back of a spoon or a flat spatula to press it firmly and evenly into the pan.
Cover the pan with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until set.
Once the mixture is firm, use the parchment paper overhang to lift it out of the pan. Place on a cutting board and slice into 12 equal bars.
Store the power bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or freeze for longer storage.
