Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 0.5 cups almond butter
- 0.5 cups honey
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- 2 tablespoons flaxseed meal
- 0.5 cups dark chocolate chips
- 0.5 cups dried cranberries
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoons sea salt
Instructions
Line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal later.
In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the almond butter and honey. Stir frequently until the mixture is warm and smooth, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, chia seeds, flaxseed meal, chocolate chips, dried cranberries, and sea salt. Pour the warm almond butter-honey mixture over the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly until everything is well coated.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish. Use a spatula or the back of a spoon to press it down evenly and firmly into the pan.
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until completely set. Once set, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the bars out of the pan.
Slice into 12 even bars and store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week, or freeze for longer storage.
