Chocolate Oatmeal No Bake Bars (Clean Ingredients)

You've probably seen these bars all over Pinterest- they are so so yummy! Good clean ingredients- just be careful how many you scarf down...peanut butter and coconut oil are high in calories  This is my modified version, which is why I'm not referencing a specific place I got it.

Ingredients:
1 cup peanut butter
1/4 cup honey
1/2 cup coconut oil
2 cups old fashioned oats
1 cup shredded coconut
1/2 cup chopped nuts, raisins or dried cranberries (I use craisins)
1/4 cup cocoa or cacao or some combination of the two
1 tsp vanilla
I've started adding 1/4c chia seeds as well


Directions:
Melt the peanut butter, honey, and coconut oil over medium-low heat in a saucepan on the stove.

Remove from heat once it’s melted together and add in the oats, shredded coconut, cocoa, nuts/raisins, and vanilla. Stir together until everything is incorporated.

Pour into a greased (or tinfoil lined) 9×13 pan and cool in the fridge or freezer. If you’d like thicker bars, you can pour the mixture into a smaller pan- I've used all kinds of pans to get different shapes and thickness.  Use whatever you want.

When the mixture is hardened, cut into bars and eat. Store in the refrigerator or freezer.
