Serves: 12 bars
Ingredients
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1/2 cup nut butter
- 1/4 cup dried fruits
- 1/4 cup nuts or seeds
- 1/4 cup chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
- Line a 9x9 inch baking pan with parchment paper, ensuring some overhang for easy removal later.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine rolled oats, dried fruits, nuts or seeds, and chocolate chips (if using). Mix thoroughly to distribute ingredients evenly.
- In a separate microwave-safe bowl, warm honey and nut butter together for 30-45 seconds until smooth and easily mixable.
- Pour the warm honey and nut butter mixture over the dry ingredients, stirring carefully until all ingredients are completely coated and well combined.
- Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking pan, pressing down firmly and evenly with the back of a spatula or clean hands to create a compact layer.
- Refrigerate the mixture for at least 2 hours or until completely set and firm.
- Once chilled, lift the bars out of the pan using parchment paper edges and cut into 12 equal rectangular bars.
- Store bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
Tips
- Choose high-quality ingredients: Use fresh rolled oats and raw nuts for the best flavor and texture.
- Warm the honey and nut butter gently to ensure smooth mixing and easy coating of dry ingredients.
- Press the mixture firmly and evenly in the pan to help bars hold together better.
- For extra flavor variations, experiment with different nut butters like almond or cashew.
- If the bars seem too crumbly, add an extra tablespoon of honey or nut butter to improve binding.
- Use parchment paper overhang for easy removal and clean cutting of bars.
- Chill thoroughly before cutting to ensure clean, neat bar shapes.
- Store in an airtight container to maintain freshness and texture.
