Peanut Free Orange-Pistachio Coconut Oat Bars

These bright, chewy bars pack a serious crunch from roughly chopped pistachios and cashews, mixed right into hearty rolled oats and shredded coconut. Fresh orange zest along with warm cinnamon and ginger give the whole batch a fragrant, citrusy lift that keeps every bite interesting. A warmed honey and coconut oil mixture binds everything together into a compact, sliceable slab once pressed into the pan and chilled. A scatter of dark chocolate chips over the top adds a rich, slightly bitter contrast if you want it, pressed in just enough to hold. Once firm, the whole thing lifts out cleanly by the parchment for easy cutting into neat squares that hold their shape in your hand. It's a solid make-ahead snack to have on hand, and it fits nicely into a peanut free kitchen.
