Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Old-fashioned rolled oats
- 0.5 cup Chopped almonds
- 0.25 cup Pumpkin seeds
- 0.25 cup Sunflower seeds
- 0.5 cup Dried cranberries
- 0.25 cup Dried apricots, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons Ground flaxseeds
- 1 tablespoon Chia seeds
- 0.75 cup Natural almond butter
- 0.5 cup Honey
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 cup Mini chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
Spread the rolled oats, chopped almonds, pumpkin seeds, and sunflower seeds on a baking sheet. Toast them in the oven for 10 minutes, stirring halfway through. Remove from the oven and let cool.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the toasted oats and seeds with the dried cranberries, dried apricots, ground flaxseeds, chia seeds, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir until evenly mixed.
In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the almond butter and honey. Stir until melted and smooth. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Pour the almond butter mixture over the dry ingredients and mix well until everything is evenly coated. If using, fold in the mini chocolate chips after the mixture has slightly cooled to prevent melting.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking pan and press it down firmly using a spatula or your hands to create an even layer.
Refrigerate the pan for at least 1 hour, or until the mixture has set and is firm.
Lift the parchment paper out of the pan and place it on a cutting board. Slice into 12 equal bars.
Store the energy bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week, or freeze for longer storage.
