Ingredients

• 2 cups rolled oats
• 1 cup almond butter
• 0.5 cup honey
• 2 tablespoons chia seeds
• 2 tablespoons ground flaxseed
• 0.5 cup dark chocolate chips
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoon sea salt
• 0.5 cup optional chopped nuts (e.g., almonds, walnuts)

Directions

Step 1

Line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal later.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, chia seeds, ground flaxseed, dark chocolate chips, and optional chopped nuts. Stir to distribute evenly.

Step 3

In a microwave-safe bowl, heat the almond butter and honey together in 30-second intervals until just warm and easy to mix. Alternatively, you can heat them in a small saucepan over low heat.

Step 4

Remove the almond butter and honey mixture from the heat, and stir in the vanilla extract and sea salt.

Step 5

Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients in the mixing bowl. Using a spatula or wooden spoon, stir until all of the dry ingredients are fully coated and combined.

Step 6

Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish. Press it down firmly and evenly using the back of a spatula or your hands (slightly dampened to prevent sticking).

Step 7

Refrigerate the bars for at least 2 hours, or until firm enough to slice.

Step 8

Using the parchment paper overhang, lift the chilled mixture out of the dish. Slice it into 12 bars (or your desired size).

Step 9

Store the bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or freeze for longer storage.
