Notes

For a nut-free version, substitute nut butter with sunflower seed butter or tahini. Experiment with different mix-ins like chocolate chunks, granola, or different dried fruits. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week or freeze for longer shelf life. Feel free to roll the mixture into balls for portable snacks. If your bars crumble, ensure you've mixed in enough binder and pressed the mixture firmly into the pan.
