Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 1 cup raw almonds
- 0.5 cup honey
- 0.5 cup almond butter
- 2 tablespoons ground flaxseeds
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup dark chocolate chips
- 0.25 teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
Line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the sides for easy removal later.
In a large skillet over medium heat, toast the rolled oats and almonds for 3-5 minutes or until lightly golden and fragrant. Stir frequently to avoid burning. Remove from heat and transfer to a large mixing bowl.
In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the honey and almond butter. Stir constantly until the mixture is smooth and fully combined (about 2-3 minutes). Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Add the ground flaxseeds, chia seeds, and sea salt to the mixing bowl with the oats and almonds. Stir to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
Pour the warm honey and almond butter mixture over the dry ingredients in the mixing bowl. Use a spatula to thoroughly combine, making sure all the dry ingredients are coated.
Fold in the dark chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly dispersed throughout the mixture.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish. Use the back of a spoon or a piece of parchment paper to press the mixture firmly and evenly into the pan.
Place the baking dish in the refrigerator and chill for at least 1 hour, or until the mixture is firm and set.
Once set, lift the energy bar slab out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Transfer to a cutting board and use a sharp knife to slice into 12 even bars.
Store the bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week, or freeze for longer storage.
