Scale
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 1 cup honey or maple syrup
- 1/2 cup natural peanut butter or almond butter
- 1/2 cup chopped nuts (almonds, walnuts, or pecans)
- 1/2 cup dried fruits (cranberries, apricots, or raisins)
- 1/4 cup chia seeds or flaxseeds
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Optional: dark chocolate chips or coconut flakes for extra flavor
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, chopped nuts, dried fruits, and chia seeds.
- In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the honey (or maple syrup) with the peanut butter until smooth and well combined.
- Add the vanilla extract to the melted mixture and stir thoroughly.
- Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients and stir until everything is evenly coated.
- Transfer the mixture into a parchment-lined baking dish, pressing down firmly to create an even layer.
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until set.

- Ensure bars are tightly wrapped and stored properly to maintain freshness.
