Preparation

Step 1

In a medium sized saucepan, melt together peanut butter, honey and coconut oil.

Remove from heat and let cook a bit. Add one cup of oats, let sit until cool. Choose your favorite combination of coconut flakes, sesame seeds, sunflower seeds, dried fruit and mini chocolate chips, to equal a total of ONE CUP. (I just got out my one cup measuring cup and poured in the ingredients until the cup was full.) Pour in and stir well.
Then spread mixture into a 8×8 or 9×4 pan.

Chill for two hours, then cut into bars.
