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)

Directions

Step 1

Line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the edges for easy removal.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, dried mixed fruits, and chopped nuts or seeds. Stir until evenly distributed.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish. Use a spatula or the back of a spoon to press it down firmly and evenly.

Step 6

Refrigerate the dish for at least 2 hours, or until the mixture is firm enough to cut.

Step 7

Once set, lift the bars out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Cut into 12 equal-sized bars.

Step 8

Store the bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week, or freeze for up to one month.
