Ingredients
- 1.5 cups rolled oats
- 0.5 cup almonds
- 0.5 cup walnuts
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 cup low sodium almond butter
- 0.25 cup honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
Step 2
Spread the rolled oats, almonds, and walnuts evenly on a baking sheet. Place in the oven and toast for 8-10 minutes, stirring halfway through. Once golden and fragrant, remove from the oven and let cool slightly.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, combine the toasted oats, almonds, walnuts, and cocoa powder. Mix well to distribute the cocoa evenly.
Step 4
In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the almond butter and honey, stirring gently until fully blended. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Step 5
Pour the almond butter mixture over the oat mixture. Stir until all the dry ingredients are well coated.
Step 6
Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Step 7
Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking pan. Press down firmly with a spatula or the back of a spoon to ensure the mixture is packed tightly and evenly.
Step 8
Place the pan in the refrigerator for at least 1-2 hours or until the bars are set and firm.
Step 9
Once set, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the bars out of the pan. Place on a cutting board and cut into 12 equal bars.
Step 10
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
