Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.
Mix peanut butter, honey, vanilla, and eggs in a large mixing bowl.
1/2 cup peanut butter, 1/2 cup honey, 2 teaspoons vanilla extract, 4 large eggs
Stir salt, flour, baking powder, and oats into peanut butter mixture.
1/2 teaspoon sea salt, 1 cup whole wheat flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 8 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
Add raisins, chocolate chips, and nuts.
2 cups organic raisins or cranberries, 2 cup semisweet chocolate chips, 1 cup nuts
Spread mixture into a 13"x18" baking sheet, greased or lined with a silicone mat or parchment paper.
Press the mixture firmly down into the pan using a flat spatula or other tool.
Bake 15 minutes or until the top is golden brown. Remove from oven and press bars again to help them hold their shape.
Cool, then slice into 24 bars.

For a nut free version, try sunflower seed butter or use melted butter or coconut oil instead of the peanut butter.
