Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the old-fashioned oats, ground flaxseed, chia seeds, and a pinch of sea salt. Stir together until evenly mixed.

Add the natural almond butter, honey (or maple syrup for a vegan option), and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix until all ingredients are thoroughly combined and the mixture starts to adhere together.

Fold in the dark chocolate chips and chopped walnuts or almonds. Ensure that the nuts and chocolate are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
