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)
Directions
Step 1
Line an 8x8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving a bit of overhang for easy removal later.
Step 2
Roughly chop the almonds until they are in bite-sized pieces (or pulse in a food processor for a few seconds).
Step 3
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.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
Stir the vanilla extract into the warm peanut butter and honey mixture.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
If using dark chocolate chips, fold them into the mixture once it has cooled slightly to prevent melting.
Step 8
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.
Step 9
Refrigerate the pan for at least 2 hours, or until the mixture is firm to the touch.
Step 10
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.
Step 11
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!
