Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Old-fashioned rolled oats
- 0.5 cups Almonds (chopped)
- 0.5 cups Peanut butter
- 0.5 cups Honey
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 cups Dark chocolate chips
- 0.25 teaspoons Sea salt
- 2 tablespoons Ground flaxseed (optional)
Instructions
Prepare a baking dish (8x8-inch or 9x9-inch) by lining it with parchment paper, leaving overhangs on two sides for easy lifting. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, chopped almonds, ground cinnamon, and ground flaxseed (if using).
In a small saucepan over low heat, warm the peanut butter and honey together, stirring constantly until smooth and well combined. Remove from heat and mix in the vanilla extract.
Pour the warm peanut butter and honey mixture over the dry ingredients in the mixing bowl. Stir until fully combined and the oats are evenly coated.
Fold in the dark chocolate chips, reserving a few to sprinkle on top, if desired.
Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish and press it down evenly into a flat layer using a spatula or the back of a spoon.
Sprinkle the reserved chocolate chips and a pinch of sea salt over the top.
Place the baking dish in the refrigerator and chill for at least 1-2 hours or until firm.
Once set, remove the bars from the dish using the parchment paper overhangs. Place on a cutting board and slice into 12 rectangles or squares.
Store the bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week or in the freezer for up to one month. Enjoy!
