2 1/2 cups old fashioned rolled oats

1/4 cup pistachios, chopped

1/4 cup Dickey Farms pecans, chopped

1/2 cup pumpkin seed

1/3 cup honey

1/4 cup Oliver Farm Pecan Oil

1/4 cup packed light brown sugar

1/4 tsp kosher salt

1/4 cup chocolate chips

INSTRUCTIONS:

Line the bottom of 8" or 9" square pan with baking paper.

Add oats, pumpkin seed, pecans, and pistachios and bake for 5 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl.

Combine oil, honey, brown sugar, vanilla extract, and salt in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally until sugar completely dissolves.

Pour mixture into bowl with oats, pumpkin seed, pecans, and pistachios. Mix well. Let cool for about 5 minutes and add the chocolate chips. Stir to combine.

Transfer the oat mixture to a lined pan and then use a spatula to gently press the mixture into the pan. (press hard so the bars will remain together once they cool).
