# What You’ll Need:
→ Dry Ingredients
01 - 2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
02 - 1 cup whole wheat flour
03 - 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
04 - 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
05 - 1/4 teaspoon salt
→ Wet Ingredients
06 - 3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
07 - 1/2 cup honey
08 - 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
09 - 1 large egg
10 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
→ Add-ins
11 - 3/4 cup raisins
12 - 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
# How-To:
01 - Preheat oven to 350°F. Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper and leave some overhang for easy removal.
02 - In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the rolled oats, whole wheat flour, ground cinnamon, baking soda, and salt.
03 - In a separate bowl, blend the creamy peanut butter, honey, melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth and homogeneous.
04 - Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined, avoiding overmixing.
05 - Incorporate raisins and chopped walnuts into the batter until evenly distributed.
06 - Transfer the mixture to the prepared pan, pressing it down firmly to create an even layer. Bake for 22–25 minutes, until golden at the edges and set in the center.
07 - Allow bars to cool fully in the pan, then remove using the parchment overhang and slice into 12 bars.
