Ingredients

• 2 cups Rolled oats
• 1 cup Almonds
• 1 cup Peanut butter
• 1 cup Honey
• 1 cup Chopped dried fruits (e.g., cranberries, apricots, or raisins)
• 2 tablespoons Chia seeds
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Dark chocolate chips (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Line an 8x8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving a bit of overhang for easy removal later.

Step 2

Roughly chop the almonds until they are in bite-sized pieces (or pulse in a food processor for a few seconds).

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, chopped almonds, dried fruits, chia seeds, and salt. Stir well to ensure an even distribution of ingredients.

Step 4

In a medium microwave-safe bowl, add the peanut butter and honey. Microwave the mixture in 15-second increments, stirring after each, until it is smooth and easy to mix. This should take about 30-45 seconds.

Step 5

Stir the vanilla extract into the warm peanut butter and honey mixture.

Step 6

Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients in the large mixing bowl. Stir with a sturdy spatula or your hands (if needed) until everything is thoroughly coated.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking pan and press it firmly and evenly into the pan using the back of a spatula or your hands. Be sure to compact it well so the bars hold together.

Step 9

Refrigerate the pan for at least 2 hours, or until the mixture is firm to the touch.

Step 10

Remove the chilled mixture from the pan using the parchment overhang and place it on a cutting board. Slice into 12 bars or your desired portion size.

Step 11

Store the bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or freeze them for longer storage. Enjoy as a quick, healthy snack or breakfast on the go!
