How to Make Backpacker Bars
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides to lift the bars out later.
- In a large bowl, combine rolled oats, peanut butter, honey (or maple syrup), chocolate chips, dried cranberries, chopped nuts, vanilla extract, and salt.
- Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined and the mixture is evenly moistened.
- Press the mixture firmly into the prepared baking pan, ensuring an even layer.
- Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the bars are set.
- Let the bars cool completely in the pan before lifting them out using the parchment paper overhang.
- Cut into squares or bars and store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, or in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
