Ingredients

Instructions

  • Line an 8x8 inch pan with parchment paper. Spray lightly with nonstick cooking spray.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine oats, salt and cinnamon.
  • In small saucepan, combine honey and coconut oil. Cook over medium heat until bubbly. Turn the heat off and stir in the vanilla.
  • Pour honey mixture into the oats and stir until well combined.
  • Stir in pepitas and dried cranberries if adding. Once the mixture has cooled slightly, add in chocolate chips.
  • Spoon mixture into your parchment lined pan and spread evenly. Spray a small amount of cooking spray onto your hands and press the mixture firmly into the pan so that it stays together.
  • Place the pan in the refrigerator for 2 hours. Remove the bars with the parchment paper and cut into 12 even bars. Enjoy!
