Yield 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 1/2 cups rolled oats
1/4 cup powdered milk
1/2 cup dried cherries (or other dried fruit, your choice)
1/3 cup honey
1/4 cup almond butter
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
vegetable oil (optional)

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
In a large bowl, mix the oats, cherries, and dry milk.
In a small sauce pan, combine the honey, almond butter, and almond extract. Turn on low-heat and stir until ingredients are combined. If the mixture looks particularly thick, you may need to add a few tablespoons of vegetable oil.
Pour the honey-mixture over the oat mixture, and stir until all ingredients are moist.
Spread the mixture into a greased 9x9 pan and bake for 20 minutes.
Cut into bars after they've cooled. Store in an air-tight container.
