Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Rolled oats
- 1 cup Almond butter
- 0.5 cup Maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.75 cup Vegan chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons Chia seeds
- 0.25 cup Almond milk
Instructions
Line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the sides for easy removal.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, vegan chocolate chips, and chia seeds.
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the almond butter and maple syrup together while stirring. Once blended, remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract.
Pour the almond butter mixture over the oat mixture and mix until thoroughly combined.
Add ground cinnamon and salt, mixing until evenly distributed.
Gradually add the almond milk, one tablespoon at a time, to help bind the mixture without making it too wet.
Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking pan, pressing it down firmly into an even layer. A spatula or the back of a spoon works well for this.
Place the pan in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or until set and firm.
Once firm, lift the bars from the pan using the parchment overhang and cut into 12 bars.
Store the bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week or freeze for longer-term storage.
