Ingredients
The following ingredients have 4 Servings
- 1/3 cup peanut butter
- 1/3 cup honey
- 2 Tbsp coconut oil
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract ((optional))
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp cinnamon
- 1 1/2 cups old fashioned oats ((can use quick cooking as well))
- 1/2 cup sliced almonds
- 1/2 cup dried cherries ((or cranberries))
- 1/2 cup dried blueberries
- 1/4 cup shelled pistachios
- 1/4 cup pumpkin seeds (raw)
- 1/8 cup sunflower seeds
- 1/8 cup flax seeds
Instruction
- Line an 8x8" baking pan with wax paper (or parchment paper), enough so the paper overhangs the edges of the baking pan. This makes removing the bars a lot easier.
- Add oats, almonds, pistachios, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, flax seeds, dried cherries and dried blueberries to a large mixing bowl. Toss to combine.
- Combine peanut butter, honey, coconut oil, salt, cinnamon and vanilla in a microwaveable mixing bowl. Microwave 30-40 seconds, or until honey is bubbling/foamy. Stir well to combine.
- Pour melted peanut butter mixture over the dry ingredients and use a rubber spatula to stir it all together.
- Transfer mixture to prepared baking pan. Top with a sheet of wax paper (or parchment paper) and press down firmly into an even layer. Really compact it well. I used the side of a square glass vase to press it down.
- Refrigerate 2+ hours, or overnight. Slice into 8 bars and serve.
