**Bingo Bars**
**Ingredients:**
– 1 1/2 cups rolled oats
– 1/2 cup almond butter
– 1/3 cup honey
– 1/4 cup chopped almonds
– 1/4 cup dried cranberries
– 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips
– 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
– Pinch of salt
**Instructions:**
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8×8 inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the sides for easy removal later.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, almond butter, honey, chopped almonds, dried cranberries, mini chocolate chips, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Mix everything together until well combined and the mixture starts to stick together.
3. Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish and press it down firmly and evenly using the back of a spoon or your hands.
4. Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until the edges start to turn golden brown.
5. Remove from the oven and let it cool in the baking dish for about 10-15 minutes.
6. Using the overhang of the parchment paper, lift the bars out of the dish and place them on a cutting board. Cut into desired size bars or squares while still warm.
7. Allow the bars to cool completely before serving. You can store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, or in the refrigerator for longer shelf life.
