Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Rolled oats
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened shredded coconut
- 0.5 cup Macadamia nuts, roughly chopped
- 0.5 cup Dried pineapple, finely chopped
- 0.5 cup Dried mango, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons Chia seeds
- 0.5 cup Honey
- 0.5 cup Almond butter
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the sides for easy removal later.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, shredded coconut, macadamia nuts, dried pineapple, dried mango, and chia seeds. Mix until evenly distributed.
In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the honey and almond butter. Stir constantly until the mixture is smooth and well-combined. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and salt.
Pour the warm honey-almond butter mixture over the dry ingredients in the mixing bowl. Use a spatula to fold the wet and dry ingredients together until everything is evenly coated.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish. Use the back of the spatula (or your hands, lightly greased) to firmly press the mixture into an even layer.
Refrigerate the dish for at least 2 hours, or until the mixture is firm and set.
Once chilled, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the energy bar slab out of the dish. Place on a cutting board and slice into 12 individual bars.
Store the bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week, or freeze for longer storage.
