This might work just as well with black raisin, maybe even better (because who in the world prefers green grape jam/jelly to purple when matching it with peanut butter?) But I used golden raisins because I wanted to try it out, and it just looks better that way.
Basically, just threw in a handful of that with half a cup of quick-cook oatmeal (note that rolled, quick-cook, and instant oats are technically already cooked, so the hot water added and left for 4 minutes only really just re-hydrates the oatmeal) and just enough homestyle peanut butter to stick them all together.
Regular peanut butter should work just as well, too. A dusting of extra oatmeal should stop it from being too sticky, and voila! Fruit, nuts, grains.
It's still kind of soft, so not exactly nature hike material...but if you want to start your day with an energy boost, then this might be worth considering!
