Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 1 cup almond flour
- 0.5 cup honey (or maple syrup)
- 0.5 cup almond butter (or peanut butter)
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup dried cranberries (or raisins)
- 0.5 cup chopped nuts (almonds, walnuts, etc.)
- 0.25 cup dark chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, allowing some overhang for easy removal.
In a large mixing bowl, combine rolled oats, almond flour, chia seeds, ground cinnamon, and salt. Mix well to ensure even distribution of dry ingredients.
In a small saucepan over low heat, gently warm the honey (or maple syrup) and almond butter (or peanut butter) until they are well combined and smooth. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Pour the wet mixture into the bowl of dry ingredients and mix thoroughly until all the oats and flour are evenly coated.
Fold in the dried cranberries, chopped nuts, and dark chocolate chips (if using). Make sure they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish and press it firmly and evenly into the pan using your hands or the back of a spoon. Compacting the mixture helps the bars hold together better.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
Remove the dish from the oven and let it cool completely in the pan before lifting it out using the parchment paper overhang.
Once cooled, cut into 12 bars or your desired size. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
