Ingredients

  • 2 cups rolled oats
  • 1 cup chopped almonds
  • 0.5 cup pumpkin seeds
  • 2 tablespoons chia seeds
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 0.25 teaspoon salt
  • 0.5 cup natural peanut butter
  • 0.5 cup honey
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 0.25 cup dark chocolate chips
  • 0.25 cup dried cranberries

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, ensuring there is enough overhang on the sides to lift the bars out later.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, chopped almonds, pumpkin seeds, chia seeds, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir well to evenly distribute the ingredients.

Step 3

In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the peanut butter and honey. Stir constantly until the mixture is smooth and fully combined. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 4

Pour the warm peanut butter and honey mixture over the dry ingredients in the mixing bowl. Mix thoroughly until all the ingredients are coated and stick together.

Step 5

Fold in the dark chocolate chips and dried cranberries, making sure they're evenly distributed.

Step 6

Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish and press it firmly into an even layer using the back of a spatula or your hands (use parchment paper to prevent sticking).

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.

Step 8

Remove the baking dish from the oven and let the granola bars cool completely in the pan. This step is crucial to ensure the bars hold together.

Step 9

Once cooled, lift the bars out of the dish using the parchment paper overhang. Place on a cutting board and slice into 12 equal bars.

Step 10

Store the granola bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week or in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. You can also freeze them for longer storage.
