Ingredients
-
2 cups rolled oats
-
½ cup raisins (regular or golden)

½ cup shredded coconut (unsweetened)

1 tsp ground cinnamon
-
⅓ cup honey (or maple syrup for vegan)
-
¼ cup butter or coconut oil, melted
-
1 tsp vanilla extract
-
Pinch of salt
Instructions
-
Melt the magic: In a saucepan, melt honey and butter/oil over low heat until smooth. Remove from heat, then stir in vanilla and salt.
-
Mix it dry: In a large bowl, combine oats, raisins, coconut, and cinnamon. Toss to combine.
-
Bring it together: Pour warm honey mixture over the dry mix. Stir until every oat is coated and sticky.

Pack it in: Line an 8×8 pan with parchment. Firmly press the mixture into the pan—really compact it!

Chill: Refrigerate 1–2 hours or freeze for 30 minutes until firm.

Slice & store: Cut into 10 bars. Store in an airtight container up to 1 week (or freeze 3 months).
