Ingredients

• 2 cups rolled oats
• 2 tablespoons chia seeds
• 2 tablespoons flaxseeds
• 1 cup sliced almonds
• 0.5 cup pumpkin seeds
• 0.33 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
• 0.5 cup dried cranberries
• 0.33 cup chopped dates
• 0.5 cup natural peanut butter
• 0.33 cup honey
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.33 cup dark chocolate chips

Directions

Step 1

Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal later.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, chia seeds, flaxseeds, sliced almonds, pumpkin seeds, shredded coconut, dried cranberries, and chopped dates. Mix well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.

Step 3

In a microwave-safe bowl, add the peanut butter and honey. Heat in 20-second intervals, stirring between each, until the mixture is warm and easy to pour.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients in the mixing bowl. Use a sturdy spatula or wooden spoon to thoroughly combine until everything is evenly coated.

Step 6

Fold in the dark chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.

Step 7

Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking pan. Use the back of a spoon or a flat spatula to press it firmly and evenly into the pan.

Step 8

Cover the pan with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until set.

Step 9

Once the mixture is firm, use the parchment paper overhang to lift it out of the pan. Place on a cutting board and slice into 12 equal bars.

Step 10

Store the power bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or freeze for longer storage.
