Ingredients
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 1 cup dried fruit (cranberries, raisins, or apricots)
- ½ cup nut butter (peanut butter, almond butter, or cashew butter)
- ¼ cup honey
- ¼ cup chopped nuts (walnuts, almonds, or pecans)
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
Equipment Needed
- Large bowl
- Spoon (wooden suggested)
Directions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the oats and dried fruit.
- In a separate bowl, mix together the nut butter and honey until smooth.
- Add the nut butter mixture to the oat mixture and stir until everything is well combined.
- Fold in the chopped nuts and salt.
- If desired, add the vanilla extract for flavor.
- Use your hands to shape the mixture into bars, about 1 inch wide and 2-3 inches long. You should end up with around 12-15 bars.
- Store the bars in an airtight container or wrap them individually in plastic wrap, parchment paper or aluminum foil.
