Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Oats (rolled or quick-cooking)
- 1 cup Raw almonds
- 1 cup Almond butter
- 0.5 cup Honey or maple syrup
- 0.25 cup Ground flaxseed
- 2 tablespoons Chia seeds
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 cup Dark chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
In a food processor, pulse the oats and raw almonds until they form a coarse meal.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the oat and almond mixture, almond butter, honey or maple syrup, ground flaxseed, chia seeds, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and salt.
If desired, fold in the dark chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking pan, pressing it firmly and evenly with your hands or the back of a spoon.
Refrigerate the pan for at least 2 hours or until the mixture is firm and set.
Once set, remove the mixture from the pan by lifting the parchment paper, and place it on a cutting board.
Cut the mixture into 12 bars and store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week or in the freezer for up to a month.
