Ingredients

  • 3 1/3 cups rolled oats quick
  • 1 cup light brown sugar packed
  • 2/3 cup oat flour
  • 1 1/4 teaspoons sea salt finely ground
  • 3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup peanuts salted, roughly chopped
  • 1/2 cup almonds salted, roughly chopped
  • 1 cup walnuts roughly chopped
  • 1 cup sour cherries roughly chopped
  • 1 cup mini chocolate chips
  • 1 1/3 cups peanut butter creamy
  • 1 1/4 cups coconut oil or canola oil, melted
  • 3/4 cup honey or maple syrup

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees (F). Line an 9″x13" baking pan with parchment paper; lightly grease the parchment paper and any exposed pan with a non-stick spray; set aside.
  2. Stir together all the dry ingredients, including the fruit and nuts. In a separate bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, coconut oil, and honey. Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients and use a rubber spatula to mix everything together (it will be a crumbly mix).
  3. Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and press it down firmly (you want it really packed down into the pan so it holds its shape).
  4. Bake the bars for 30-35 minutes, or until they’re golden brown on top and around the edges. They’ll seem soft and slightly under-baked when you're removing them from the oven - not to worry - they'll firm up as they cool.
  5. Cool the bars in the pan completely before cutting.
  6. Once cool, use a very sharp (preferably serrated) knife to cut the bars into rectangles. Store in the fridge, freezer, or at room temperature in an airtight container.
