Ingredients

• 2 cups rolled oats
• 1 cup almond butter (or peanut butter)
• 1 cup honey (or maple syrup)
• 1 cup mini chocolate chips
• 0.5 cup chopped nuts (e.g., almonds, walnuts)
• 0.5 cup dried fruit (e.g., cranberries, raisins)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoon salt

Directions

Step 1

Line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang to make it easier to lift out the bars later.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, add the rolled oats, chopped nuts, and dried fruit. Stir to combine.

Step 3

In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the almond butter and honey. Microwave for 30 seconds and stir until smooth. If needed, microwave for an additional 10-15 seconds.

Step 4

Stir the vanilla extract and salt into the almond butter and honey mixture.

Step 5

Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients in the mixing bowl. Stir well until everything is fully coated and combined.

Step 6

Let the mixture cool slightly, then gently fold in the mini chocolate chips.

Step 7

Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Press it firmly into an even layer, using the back of a spoon or a spatula.

Step 8

Refrigerate the mixture for at least 2 hours, or until firm.

Step 9

Once firm, use the overhanging parchment paper to lift the mixture out of the baking dish. Place it on a cutting board and cut into 12 bars.

Step 10

Store the bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
