Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups rolled oats
- 3 tablespoons chia seeds
- 2 tablespoons ground flaxseeds
- 0.25 cup honey
- 0.5 cup natural peanut butter
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup mini chocolate chips (optional)
- 2 tablespoons shredded unsweetened coconut (optional topping)
Instructions
Line an 8x8-inch pan with parchment paper, leaving extra paper overhanging the sides for easy removal later.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, chia seeds, and ground flaxseeds. Stir well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
In a small microwave-safe bowl or saucepan, combine the honey, peanut butter, and coconut oil. Heat gently in the microwave or over low heat on the stovetop until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy. This should take about 30 seconds to 1 minute.
Remove the wet ingredients from heat and stir in the vanilla extract to enhance the flavor.
Pour the wet mixture into the bowl of dry ingredients. Use a spatula to mix until the ingredients are fully combined, forming a sticky dough. If adding mini chocolate chips, fold them in at this stage.
Transfer the dough into the prepared pan, pressing it down evenly with the back of a spoon or your hands. If desired, sprinkle shredded unsweetened coconut on top and press gently to help it stick.
Refrigerate the pan for at least 1 hour or until the bars are firm and set.
Once set, lift the mixture from the pan using the overhanging parchment paper. Place it on a cutting board and slice it into 10 even bars or squares.
Store the Omega Bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week, or freeze for longer storage.
