Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 cup oats (90g)
  • 1/2 cup nut butter (peanut or almond) (125g)
  • 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup (85g)
  • 1/2 cup mixed nuts or seeds (75g)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large bowl, mix the oats, nut butter, and honey or maple syrup until all ingredients are well combined.
  2. Stir in the mixed nuts or seeds, dried fruits, and vanilla extract, incorporating everything evenly.
  3. Line a baking dish with parchment paper to prevent sticking, then transfer the mixture into the dish. Press it down firmly and evenly.
  4. Refrigerate the mixture for at least 1 hour to allow it to firm up.
  5. Once set, cut the mixture into bars of your desired size and store them in an airtight container.

Notes

These bars are versatile and can be enjoyed as breakfast or snacks. For a delightful presentation, serve them cut into squares with tea or smoothies. Consider adding yogurt for a creamy touch.
