Ingredients

For the base:

• 2 cups rolled oats
• 1 cup mixed nuts (almonds, walnuts, cashews – your choice)
• 1 cup dried fruits (cranberries, raisins, or chopped apricots)
• 2 tablespoons chia seeds or flaxseeds
• 1/3 cup honey or maple syrup
• 1/2 cup peanut butter or almond butter

For the cannabis infusion:

• 1/2 cup coconut oil (infused with cannabis; dosage depends on your preference, see instructions below)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• A pinch of salt

Step 1: Prepare Cannabis-Infused Coconut Oil

Decarb the cannabis:

• Preheat your oven to 240°F (115°C).
• Break apart your cannabis buds and spread them evenly on a baking sheet.
• Bake for 30-40 minutes to activate the cannabinoids.

Infuse the oil:

• In a saucepan, combine decarbed cannabis and coconut oil over low heat.
• Simmer for 2-3 hours, stirring occasionally.
• Strain the oil through a cheesecloth to remove plant material. Set aside.

Step 2: Prepare the Energy Bar Mixture

• In a large mixing bowl, combine rolled oats, mixed nuts, dried fruits, and chia seeds. Mix well.
• In a saucepan, gently heat the peanut butter, honey, cannabis-infused coconut oil, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until smooth.
• Pour the warm mixture over the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly until everything is evenly coated.

Step 3: Assemble the Bars

• Line a baking dish with parchment paper.
• Transfer the mixture to the dish, pressing it firmly into an even layer. Use the back of a spoon or a spatula for a smooth surface.
• Refrigerate for 2-3 hours, or until the bars are firm and set.

Step 4: Slice and Store

• Remove the set mixture from the baking dish and place it on a cutting board.
• Slice into bars of your preferred size.
• Store the bars in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two weeks or in the freezer for up to two months.
