Ingredients
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 1 cup almonds
- 0.75 cup dried cranberries
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- 2 tablespoons ground flaxseed
- 0.5 cup honey
- 0.5 cup almond butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup dark chocolate chips
Directions
Step 1
Line an 8x8-inch square baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the sides for easy removal later.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, almonds, dried cranberries, chia seeds, and ground flaxseed. Stir until well mixed.
Step 3
In a small saucepan over low heat, warm the honey and almond butter until smooth and fully combined. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Step 4
Pour the warm honey and almond butter mixture over the dry ingredients in the mixing bowl. Stir until everything is evenly coated and sticks together.
Step 5
Gently fold in the dark chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
Step 6
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish. Using a spatula or your hands, firmly press the mixture into an even layer.
Step 7
Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or until the mixture is firm enough to cut.
Step 8
Lift the chilled mixture out of the baking dish using the parchment paper overhang and place it on a cutting board.
Step 9
Cut into 12 equal-sized bars and store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
