Nut Butter Granola Bars

Name: Nut Butter Granola Bars
Cuisine: American
Ingredients: 2 cups raw nuts (such as almonds, walnuts, pistachios, pecans, and/or blanched hazelnuts); ½ cup raw pumpkin seeds; 3 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for pan; 2 cups old-fashioned oats, divided; 1¼ cups dried fruit (such as tart cherries, raisins, currants, dates, apricots, and/or blueberries); ¾ cup natural peanut butter (unsalted or low-salt); ½ cup plus 2 Tbsp. honey; 2 tsp. kosher salt; 2 tsp. vanilla extract; 1 large egg white

Instructions

Inspired by the nut butter bars we love from Big Spoon Roasters, this just-sweet-enough, chewy-but-firm bar is bound together by peanut butter and honey. Use any combination of nuts and dried fruit you have in your kitchen—we tried lots of variations and they all worked. If you’re looking to eliminate the egg white (which gives the bars structure), we’ve had success using 2 Tbsp. chia seeds in its place: Add them to the food processor when you blitz the oats.
