4 cups quick cooking (not rolled) oatmeal, raw
¾ cup organic chocolate or carob chips (may be omitted)
¾ cup grated coconut
¾ cup chopped nuts and/or dried fruit
¾ cup raw honey
¾ cup natural peanut butter
milk as needed (may use soy, rice or coconut milk if needed)
Mix all ingredients together in a large bowl, adding small amounts of milk until the dough begins to stick together. Press mix into well greased large cookie sheet (one that has a raised edge, not flat). Bake at 325 F for 40-45 minutes or until the edges just begin browning. Cut into bars while still warm. Leave in pan until completely cool.
In case of peanut allergy, the peanut butter may be omitted and the honey doubled, or you can replace it with another nut butter.
