Ingredients

• 2 cups Rolled oats
• 1 cup Honey
• 1 cup Peanut butter (or almond butter)
• 0.5 cups Powdered milk
• 0.5 cups Brown sugar
• 0.5 cups Chopped nuts (e.g., almonds, walnuts)
• 0.5 cups Dried fruits (e.g., raisins, cranberries)
• 0.25 cups Coconut oil (or butter)
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9x13-inch baking dish with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, powdered milk, brown sugar, chopped nuts, dried fruits, and salt. Mix well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.

Step 3

In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the coconut oil (or butter), honey, and peanut butter. Stir constantly until the mixture is smooth and well-blended.

Step 4

Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 5

Pour the melted mixture over the dry ingredients in the large bowl. Stir thoroughly with a spatula or wooden spoon until all the dry ingredients are fully coated and stick together.

Step 6

Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Press it down firmly and evenly with the back of a spoon or your hands (you can use parchment paper to prevent sticking).

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.

Step 8

Allow the bars to cool completely in the baking dish. Once cooled, use a sharp knife to cut them into 12 evenly-sized bars.

Step 9

Store the survival bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks, or wrap them individually in plastic wrap or foil for portability.
