Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 1 cup almonds
- 0.5 cup sunflower seeds
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- 0.75 cup dried cranberries
- 1 cup medjool dates
- 0.5 cup natural almond butter
- 0.25 cup honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
Line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, allowing some overhang for easy removal later.
In a food processor, pulse the medjool dates until they form a sticky paste. If needed, add 1-2 teaspoons of water to help blend.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, almonds, sunflower seeds, chia seeds, and dried cranberries.
In a small saucepan over low heat, warm the almond butter and honey together, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and sea salt.
Add the date paste and almond butter mixture to the dry ingredients. Stir thoroughly until everything is well combined and sticks together.
Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Press it down firmly and evenly with the back of a spatula or your hands to create an even layer.
Refrigerate for at least 1-2 hours or until firm.
Once set, lift the parchment paper out of the baking dish and transfer the slice to a cutting board. Cut into 12 equal bars or squares.
Store the slices in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week or in the freezer for longer storage.
