Instructions

  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a small bowl, combine the sourdough discard, honey, peanut butter and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.

  3. Add Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl add the rolled oats, chopped nuts, seeds, cinnamon, and salt to. Stir until well combined. Add wet to the dry ingredients and mix well. 

  4. Press into Pan: Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and press it down firmly to ensure even thickness.
