How to Make Energy Bars

  1. 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 easily.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, peanut butter, honey, and brown sugar. Mix well to ensure everything is evenly coated.
  3. Add the chopped nuts, seeds, and dried cranberries. Stir until thoroughly combined.
  4. Press the mixture firmly into the prepared baking pan. Make sure the mixture is evenly distributed and pressed down tightly.
  5. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the bars are set. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out with a few moist crumbs.
  6. Let the bars cool completely in the pan before lifting them out using the parchment paper overhang.
  7. Once cooled, cut into squares and store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, or in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
