The ultimate grab-and-go snack! Crispy rolled oats and toasted nuts are bound together with honey for an easy, no-fuss snack that’s way better than anything store-bought. This recipe requires no actual cooking. The 2-hour 'cook time' accounts for the passive chilling time in the refrigerator.

Ingredients

1.5 cupsRolled Oats
0.5 cupCashew
0.5 cupPeanuts
0.25 cupChia Seeds
0.25 cupSunflower Seeds
0.25 cupPumpkin Seeds
0.5 tspGround Cinnamon
0.25 tspSalt

0.5 cupHoney
0.25 cupPeanut Butter
1 tspVanilla Extract

Instructions

Line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving overhang on the sides for easy removal later.

Gather all the dry ingredients together.

Roughly crush the cashews and peanuts using a food processor, or place them in a sealed zip-top bag and crush them gently with a rolling pin or heavy pan.

In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, crushed cashews, crushed peanuts, chia seeds, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, ground cinnamon, and salt.

Mix all the dry ingredients thoroughly.

In a microwave-safe bowl, heat the honey and peanut butter together for 20-30 seconds until smoothly combined and pourable. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Pour the warm liquid mixture over the oat and crushed nut mixture.

Stir thoroughly until every bite is well-coated.

Transfer to the prepared pan.

Press down as firmly as possible using the back of a measuring cup or spatula to prevent the bars from crumbling. Place the pan in the fridge for at least 2 hours until the mixture is completely firm and set. This is a passive waiting time.

After 2 hours, take the pan out from the fridge. Lift the block out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang.

Place on a cutting board and slice into 8 individual bars using a sharp chef's knife.
