Tips:

  • Use old-fashioned oats: These oats are less processed and have a chewier texture than quick-cooking oats.
  • Add nuts and seeds for extra crunch and flavor: Some popular choices include almonds, walnuts, pecans, chia seeds, and flax seeds.
  • Use a variety of dried fruits: This will add sweetness, texture, and nutrients to your bars.
  • Don't overcook the oats: Overcooked oats will make your bars dry and crumbly.
  • Let the bars cool completely before cutting them: This will help them hold their shape.
  • Store the bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks, or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
