Ingredients

• 2 cups rolled oats
• 1 cup raw almonds
• 0.5 cup honey
• 0.5 cup almond butter
• 2 tablespoons ground flaxseeds
• 2 tablespoons chia seeds
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup dark chocolate chips
• 0.25 teaspoon sea salt

Directions

Step 1

Line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the sides for easy removal later.

Step 2

In a large skillet over medium heat, toast the rolled oats and almonds for 3-5 minutes or until lightly golden and fragrant. Stir frequently to avoid burning. Remove from heat and transfer to a large mixing bowl.

Step 3

In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the honey and almond butter. Stir constantly until the mixture is smooth and fully combined (about 2-3 minutes). Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 4

Add the ground flaxseeds, chia seeds, and sea salt to the mixing bowl with the oats and almonds. Stir to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.

Step 5

Pour the warm honey and almond butter mixture over the dry ingredients in the mixing bowl. Use a spatula to thoroughly combine, making sure all the dry ingredients are coated.

Step 6

Fold in the dark chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly dispersed throughout the mixture.

Step 7

Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish. Use the back of a spoon or a piece of parchment paper to press the mixture firmly and evenly into the pan.

Step 8

Place the baking dish in the refrigerator and chill for at least 1 hour, or until the mixture is firm and set.

Step 9

Once set, lift the energy bar slab out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Transfer to a cutting board and use a sharp knife to slice into 12 even bars.

Step 10

Store the bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week, or freeze for longer storage.
