Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Line a 9×9 baking pan with parchment paper; set aside.
  2. To a mixing bowl, add the oats, peanut butter, honey, coconut shreds, cranberries, pecans, and chocolate chips. Stir until well mixed together. 
  3. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking pan and press it evenly and firmly into the pan. Place in the freezer for 20 minutes to set before cutting into 20 bars.
  4. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week or in the freezer for up to 3 months.

Notes

* This recipe works well with peanut butter that has a more drizzly consistency. Allow the peanut butter to warm to room temperature or warm it for about 20-30 seconds or more in a microwave-safe glass measuring cup so it can be poured. 

For dairy free, use dairy-free chocolate chips, such as Enjoy Life brand

For nut free, swap the peanut butter for sun butter, and use pumpkin seeds in place of the chopped pecans.
