1 cup rolled oats

1/2 cup natural peanut butter (or almond butter)

1/3 cup honey or maple syrup

1/2 cup mixed nuts (such as almonds, walnuts, and cashews), chopped

1/4 cup dark chocolate chips (or carob chips)

1/4 cup shredded coconut (unsweetened, optional)

1/4 cup dried cranberries or raisins

1 tsp vanilla extract

Pinch of salt

Instructions
 

Mix the Base: In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, natural peanut butter, and honey (or maple syrup). Stir until thoroughly mixed and a sticky consistency forms.

    Add Crunch and Flavor: Add in the chopped mixed nuts, dark chocolate chips, shredded coconut (if using), dried cranberries or raisins, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Mix everything until well combined.
