- 4 tbsp Pure Honey - Liquid gold the pure honey adds a warm and floral sweetness, binding the ingredients together while infusing a subtle floral note, enhancing the overall sweetness without overwhelming the senses.
- ½ cup Raisins - Plump and sweet the raisins provide bursts of natural sweetness, balancing the flavors and adding a delightful chewiness to the mix.
- Cooking Spray - Lightly coating the baking pan the cooking spray ensures easy release and a golden, crispy texture on the outside, making the bars wonderfully crunchy yet moist inside.

Notes
The following tips and tricks will help make the process of making Mozies much easier:
• Make sure you use ripe bananas, as they will give the most flavor.
• If you don’t have quick oats, you can substitute rolled oats instead.
• You can add other ingredients like nuts or dried fruit to your Mozies to add more flavor.
• If the Mozies don’t seem to be sticking together, add a tablespoon of honey or two tablespoons of melted coconut oil to the mixture.
• To make your own variation, you can switch out the semi-chocolate chips for peanut butter chips or butterscotch chips. You can also add different types of nuts, dried fruits, and seeds.
• To keep your Mozies moist and fresh for longer, store them in an airtight container like a Mason jar. They can last up to a week if stored properly.
