Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Rolled oats
- 0.5 cup Almond butter
- 0.5 cup Honey
- 0.5 cup Chopped almonds
- 2 tablespoons Chia seeds
- 2 tablespoons Flaxseeds
- 0.5 cup Dried cranberries
- 0.25 cup Mini chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Toast the rolled oats for 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until they become lightly golden and fragrant. Remove from heat and let them cool slightly.
In a small saucepan over low heat, combine almond butter and honey. Stir continuously until the mixture is warm and smooth. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and salt.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the toasted oats, chopped almonds, chia seeds, flaxseeds, dried cranberries, and mini chocolate chips.
Pour the warm almond butter and honey mixture over the dry ingredients. Stir thoroughly until everything is well combined.
Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal. Transfer the mixture into the pan and press it firmly and evenly using a spatula or your hands.
Refrigerate the pan for at least 1 hour to set the bars.
Once set, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the mixture out of the pan. Place it on a cutting board and slice into 12 equal-sized bars.
Store the energy bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks or freeze for longer shelf life.
