1. Preheat oven to 180°C / 350°F.
2. Sprinkle rolled oats on a baking sheet and place in the oven. Bake for 15 minutes or until golden brown.
3. Process seedless raisins or dried cranberries in a food processor until they’re dough-like in consistency.
4. Warm honey or agave nectar and almond butter in a saucepan over low heat for about 5 minutes.
5. Then add processed raisins or dried cranberries, baked oats, almonds, salt and any extra ingredients you desired to the saucepan and stir.
6. Once combined, transfer mixture to an 20 cm x 20 cm / 8” x 8” pan lined with parchment paper. Flatten out using another layer of parchment paper on top as an aid.
7. Place in freezer for 15 minutes to one hour to harden. Once hard, cut into squares.
