Microwave Gourmet Formula Snack Bars

Ingredients

- 1 1/2 cups oats
- 1 cup formula powder
- 1/2 cup peanut butter
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1/4 cup chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup dried cranberries
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/8 teaspoon salt

Instructions

1. Prepare Ingredients:
In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the oats, formula powder, peanut butter, honey, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir until well blended.

2. Microwave Mixture:
Place the bowl in the microwave and heat on high for PT1M30S (1 minute and 30 seconds). This will soften the mixture, making it easier to combine.

3. Mix Thoroughly:
Remove the bowl from the microwave. Use a spatula to mix in the chocolate chips and dried cranberries, ensuring even distribution.

4. Shape and Set:
Line an 8x8-inch microwave-safe dish with parchment paper. Press the mixture firmly and evenly into the dish, smoothing out the top with the spatula.

5. Final Set in Microwave:
Place the dish back in the microwave, heating on medium for PT1M (1 minute). This helps the bars to set firmly.

6. Cool and Slice:
Allow the mixture to cool completely at room temperature for approximately PT30M (30 minutes). Once cooled, remove from the dish using the parchment paper. Slice into bars or squares using a sharp knife.
