Ingredients

• 2 cups Rolled oats
• 0.5 cup Unsweetened shredded coconut
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Chopped nuts (e.g., almonds, walnuts, or pecans)
• 0.5 cup Dried fruit (e.g., raisins, cranberries, or chopped dates)
• 0.5 cup Honey or maple syrup
• 0.5 cup Nut butter (e.g., peanut butter or almond butter)
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 large Egg
• 0.25 cup Dark chocolate chips (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8x8-inch (or similar-sized) baking pan with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, shredded coconut, cinnamon, salt, chopped nuts, and dried fruit. Mix well to ensure even distribution.

Step 3

In a microwave-safe bowl, gently warm the honey or maple syrup and nut butter until smooth and runny, about 20-30 seconds. Stir to combine.

Step 4

Pour the warmed mixture over the dry ingredients and mix until evenly coated.

Step 5

Add the vanilla extract and crack the egg into the mixture. Stir thoroughly to combine. If using chocolate chips, fold them in at this stage.

Step 6

Transfer the oat mixture to the prepared baking pan. Use a spatula to spread it evenly and press it down firmly to create a flat surface.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the mixture is set.

Step 8

Remove the pan from the oven and allow the oatmeal bars to cool completely in the pan before lifting them out using the parchment paper.

Step 9

Cut into 10 equal-sized bars and store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week or in the fridge for longer freshness.
