Ingredients

• 2 cups Rolled oats
• 1 cup Almonds, chopped
• 1 cup Pumpkin seeds
• 1 cup Dried cranberries
• 0.5 cup Ground flaxseed
• 1 cup Smooth peanut butter (or almond butter)
• 0.75 cup Honey
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoon Cinnamon
• 0.5 cup Dark chocolate chips (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving extra paper hanging over the edges for easy removal.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, chopped almonds, pumpkin seeds, dried cranberries, ground flaxseed, and cinnamon. Stir to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.

Step 3

In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the peanut butter and honey. Microwave for 30 seconds, then stir. Repeat in 15-second increments, if necessary, until the mixture is warm and well combined. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 4

Pour the peanut butter and honey mixture over the dry ingredients. Use a spatula to mix until all the dry ingredients are fully coated and sticky.

Step 5

If using chocolate chips, gently fold them into the mixture once it has cooled slightly to prevent melting.

Step 6

Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking pan. Press it firmly down into an even layer using the back of a spatula or your hands (rub your hands with a little oil to prevent sticking).

Step 7

Place the pan in the refrigerator and let the mixture chill for at least 2 hours or until firm.

Step 8

Remove the block of energy bars from the pan by lifting the parchment paper. Place it on a cutting board and cut into 16 equal bars or squares.

Step 9

Store the energy bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks or freeze them for longer storage.
