Ingredients

• 2 cups rolled oats
• 1/2 cup honey
• 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
• 1/2 cup chopped almonds
• 1/2 cup dried cranberries
• 1/4 cup dark chocolate chips
• 1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, combine rolled oats, chopped almonds, dried cranberries, chocolate chips, shredded coconut, and salt.
3. In a small saucepan over low heat, warm honey and peanut butter, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract.
4. Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients and mix until everything is evenly coated.
5. Transfer the mixture to the prepared pan and press firmly into an even layer using a spatula or your hands.
6. Bake for 18-20 minutes, until golden brown around the edges. Let cool completely in the pan before cutting into 12 bars.

Tips

• Store bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
• For a nut-free version, substitute sunflower seed butter and omit almonds.
• Press the mixture firmly to prevent bars from crumbling.
