Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups salted pretzel twists, broken into small pieces |
2 cups rolled oats (not instant) |
1 cup raisins or dried cranberries |
1 cup toasted sunflower seeds |
4 tablespoons unsalted butter |
3/4 cup peanut butter, preferably natural (unsweetened) |
1/2 cup packed dark brown sugar |
1/2 cup honey |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
1/2 cup all-purpose flour |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350°F; butter a 7-by-11-inch baking dish. In a large bowl, combine pretzels, oats, raisins and sunflower seeds.
2. Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Add peanut butter, sugar, honey, vanilla, flour and salt; stir until smooth.
