Ingredients
- ⅔ cup (5 oz/142 g) butter room temperature
- ½ cup (5 oz/142 g) honey
- 3 tablespoons maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
- 1½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 3 cups (9 oz/255 g) rolled oats
- ½ cup (1 ½ oz/43 g) unsweetened coconut shredded
- ½ cup (2 ½ oz/71 g) almonds chopped
- ½ cup (2 ½ oz/71 g) raisins or other dried fruit
- 1 cups (6 oz/170 g) bittersweet chocolate melted
Notes
- Use dried fruits only when adding mix-ins to avoid soggy bars.
- Cut bars while still warm to prevent crumbling.
- Dipping in chocolate creates a firm coating; refrigerate to set faster if needed.
- Customize with various dried fruits, nuts, or chips, and add vanilla extract to syrup for extra flavor.
- These bars store well, making convenient snacks or lunchbox additions.
