- 1/2 cup natural peanut butter
- 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
- 1/4 cup chopped peanuts
- 1/4 cup dried cranberries or raisins
- 1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut (optional)
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

- In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, chopped peanuts, dried cranberries or raisins, and shredded coconut (if using). Stir until well mixed.
- In a small saucepan, heat the peanut butter and honey or maple syrup over low heat, stirring continuously until smooth and well combined. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt.
- Pour the peanut butter mixture over the dry ingredients in the mixing bowl. Use a spatula or wooden spoon to mix everything together until all the dry ingredients are evenly coated with the peanut butter mixture.
- Line a square baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the sides for easy removal later. Transfer the mixture into the lined baking dish and press it down firmly and evenly into the dish.
- Place the baking dish in the refrigerator for at least 1-2 hours to allow the bars to firm up.
- Once firm, remove the bars from the refrigerator and use a sharp knife to cut them into individual bars or squares.
- Store the Peanut Energy Bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
