Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with two strips of crisscrossed parchment paper, to help to easily remove the bars.
  2. Add 1/2 cup of the rolled oats to a small food processor or blender and blitz for 10-20 seconds until finely chopped. Note: This step is optional, however, it provides a better texture to the bars.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, add the oats, pumpkin seeds, shredded coconut, raisins, cinnamon, and salt, and stir well to combine.
  4. In a separate microwave-safe bowl, add the peanut butter, honey, and vanilla extract and whisk until well combined, then transfer to the microwave for 15 seconds.
  5. Add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients and, using a wooden spoon or rubber spatula, stir until well combined and the mixture begins to stick together when pressed.
  6. Once mixed, transfer the oat mixture to a parchment-lined baking pan, spreading it out evenly. Using something flat (such as the bottom of a drinking glass) press down on the oat mixture to pack it into the baking pan. The tighter and more evenly you can pack it down, the easier the bars will be to slice.
  7. Once pressed, transfer the baking pan to the fridge for at least 1 hour or overnight to allow the bars to firm up.
  8. Once refrigerated, remove the bars from the pan, pulling on the tabs of parchment paper to not break the mixture, and place it on a cutting board. Using a large sharp knife slice into 8 large bars, 12 medium bars, or 16 small bars.
  9. The bars can be eaten immediately, stored in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks, or wrapped individually in plastic wrap and stored in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 6 months.
