Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup pistachios, chopped
- 1/2 cup dried blackcurrants
- 1/2 cup honey or maple syrup
- 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8×8 inch baking dish with parchment paper for easy release.
- Combine the rolled oats, chopped pistachios, and dried blackcurrants in a mixing bowl. Stir well to distribute the blackcurrants evenly.

- Allow the bars to cool completely before cutting them into squares.
