- 2 cups rolled oats
- 1 cup chopped almonds

Instructions
Line an 8x8 inch baking dish with parchment paper for easy removal of the bars.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond butter, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and well combined.

Fold in the chocolate chips, distributing them evenly throughout the mixture.
Press the mixture firmly into the prepared baking dish using a spatula or your hands to ensure it's evenly packed.
