Ingredients
- 2 cups old-fashioned oats
- 1/2 cup Marcel’s Oat Milk
- 1/3 cup honey
- 1/4 cup almond butter or any nut butter of your choice
- 1/2 cup dried cranberries
- 1/2 cup chopped nuts (e.g., almonds, walnuts)
- 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the oats, dried cranberries, chopped nuts, and mini chocolate chips (if using).
- In a separate microwave-safe bowl, warm the almond butter and honey for about 30 seconds or until they are soft and can be easily mixed. Stir well to combine.
- Add Marcel’s Oat Milk, ground cinnamon, and salt to the almond butter and honey mixture. Stir until everything is well combined.
- Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients in the large mixing bowl and mix until all the oats and add-ins are evenly coated.
- Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking pan and press it down firmly with the back of a spoon to ensure it’s well-packed.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes.
- Lift the parchment paper to remove the entire slab from the pan and place it on a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once the bars have cooled, cut them into individual portions and wrap them in wax paper or plastic wrap for a convenient “on the go” breakfast or snack option.
