Ingredients

• 2 cups Rolled oats
• 1 cup Almonds, chopped
• 0.5 cup Pumpkin seeds
• 2 tablespoons Chia seeds
• 0.5 cup Dried cranberries
• 0.5 cup Dark chocolate chips
• 0.75 cup Peanut butter (or almond butter)
• 0.5 cup Honey
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt

Directions

Step 1

Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal later.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, chopped almonds, pumpkin seeds, chia seeds, dried cranberries, and dark chocolate chips. Mix well to distribute evenly.

Step 3

In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the peanut butter and honey. Microwave on high for 20-30 seconds or until softened. Stir until smooth and incorporated.

Step 4

Add the vanilla extract and salt to the peanut butter mixture and stir again.

Step 5

Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients in the large mixing bowl. Use a wooden spoon or spatula to mix until everything is evenly coated and sticky.

Step 6

Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking pan. Press down firmly with the back of a spoon or your hands (use a piece of parchment paper to prevent sticking), ensuring the mixture is compact and even.

Step 7

Cover the pan with plastic wrap or foil and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until firm.

Step 8

Once set, remove the block of bars from the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Place on a cutting board and slice into 12 equal bars.

Step 9

Store the Boost Bars in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week or in the freezer for longer storage.
