Ingredients

• 2 cups rolled oats
• 1 cup almond butter
• 0.5 cup maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon powder
• 0.5 cup chopped almonds
• 0.5 cup dried cranberries
• 2 tablespoons chia seeds

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8x8 inch square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, almond butter, maple syrup, vanilla extract, salt, and cinnamon powder. Mix until all the ingredients are well combined and the oats are fully coated.

Step 3

Fold in the chopped almonds, dried cranberries, and chia seeds, making sure they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.

Step 4

Press the mixture firmly into the prepared baking pan, spreading it into an even layer. Use the back of a spoon or a spatula to smooth out the top.

Step 5

Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until the edges turn golden brown and the center is set.

Step 6

Remove the pan from the oven and let it cool in the pan on a wire rack for about 10 minutes.

Step 7

Using the parchment paper overhang, lift the oat bars out of the pan, and let them cool completely on the wire rack before cutting.

Step 8

Once cooled, cut into 12 bars. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week or in the refrigerator for longer freshness.
