Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 0.5 cup unsweetened almond butter
- 0.25 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons ground flaxseed
- 0.25 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- 2 tablespoons mini dark chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pinch pinch of salt
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, ground flaxseed, and shredded coconut. Mix until evenly distributed.
In a small microwave-safe bowl, add the almond butter and honey. Microwave for 20-30 seconds, or until slightly warm and easy to stir. Mix together until smooth.
Pour the almond butter and honey mixture into the dry ingredients. Add the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt, then mix everything thoroughly until a cohesive dough forms.
Fold in the mini dark chocolate chips to evenly distribute them throughout the mixture.
Line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper. Transfer the energy bar mixture to the dish and press it down firmly and evenly using the back of a spoon or your hands.
Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the bars to set firmly.
After chilling, remove the energy bars from the dish by lifting the parchment paper. Cut into 8 equal-sized bars.
Store the bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. Enjoy as a quick, healthy snack!
