Ingredients

• 2 cups Rolled oats
• 0.5 cups Almond butter
• 0.33 cups Honey (or maple syrup for a vegan option)
• 0.5 cups Chopped almonds
• 2 tablespoons Chia seeds
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cups Dried cranberries (or raisins)
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, chopped almonds, chia seeds, ground cinnamon, salt, and dried cranberries. Mix well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.

Step 3

In a small saucepan over low heat, stir together the almond butter and honey (or maple syrup) until smooth and warm. Stir in the vanilla extract and remove from heat.

Step 4

Pour the almond butter mixture over the dry ingredients in the bowl and mix until fully coated and sticky.

Step 5

Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking pan and press it firmly into an even layer. Use the back of a spoon or your hands (lightly greased) to ensure it's packed tightly.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 5 minutes to help set the mixture and enhance the flavors. If you prefer a raw version, skip the baking step and refrigerate instead.

Step 7

Let the baked bars cool completely in the pan before removing them using the parchment overhang.

Step 8

Once cooled, cut into 12 evenly-sized bars using a sharp knife. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
