Equipment

  • 8-inch square dish

Ingredients

  • ¾ cups peanut butter
  • ¾ cup honey
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp. cinnamon
  • ½ tsp. salt
  • 2 cups rolled oats
  • ¼ cup chopped cashews
  • ¼ cup pumpkin seeds
  • ½ cup dried cherries

Instructions

  • Line an 8 x 8 baking dish with parchment paper and set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, add peanut butter, honey, vanilla, salt and cinnamon. Using a spoon or spatula, mix until combined.
  • Add in oats, cashews, pumpkin seeds and dried cherries and mix until combined. Mixture will appear sticky and somewhat dry.
  • Using a rubber spatula, scrape the oat mixture into the prepared baking dish.
  • Lightly spray the bottom of a glass cup or a plastic measuring cup with cooking spray, and use that side to flatten out the mixture until it is even across the pan.
  • Place in refrigerator and cool for at least 2 hours, until mixture is set and not crumbly.
  • Remove from fridge and cut into 12 slices. Store in a container with a tight-fitting lid in the fridge for up to 5 days. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Any nut butter can be used, as well as any nut or seed! Feel free to use almond butter, walnuts, etc.
  • Any dried fruit can be used here as well — consider raisins, cranberries, dates, etc.
