Ingredients
- 2 cups Rolled oats
- 1 cup Almond butter (or peanut butter)
- 0.33 cup Honey (or maple syrup for vegan option)
- 2 tablespoons Chia seeds
- 2 tablespoons Ground espresso beans
- 0.5 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Directions
Step 1
Line an 8x8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the sides for easy removal later.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, chia seeds, and ground espresso beans. Stir until well mixed.
Step 3
In a small saucepan over low heat, warm the almond butter and honey (or maple syrup) until smooth and easily pourable. Stir in the vanilla extract and salt.
Step 4
Pour the almond butter mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Mix until everything is evenly coated and sticks together.
Step 5
Gently fold in the chocolate chips, making sure they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Step 6
Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking pan. Press it firmly into an even layer using the back of a spatula or your hands (damp hands work best to prevent sticking).
Step 7
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until the mixture is firm and set.
Step 8
Using the parchment paper overhang, lift the solidified energy bar mixture out of the pan and onto a cutting board.
Step 9
Cut into 12 equal-sized bars. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or freeze for longer storage.
