Ingredients
- 2 cups Rolled oats
- 0.5 cups Almond butter
- 0.5 cups Honey
- 2 tablespoons Chia seeds
- 2 tablespoons Flaxseed meal
- 0.25 cups Mini chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.25 cups Dried cranberries (optional)
- 0.25 teaspoons Sea salt
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, chia seeds, flaxseed meal, and sea salt.
Step 2
In a microwave-safe bowl, warm the almond butter and honey for 20-30 seconds to make them easier to mix. Do not overheat.
Step 3
Add the warmed almond butter and honey mixture to the large mixing bowl with the dry ingredients. Mix until thoroughly combined.
Step 4
Stir in the chocolate chips, vanilla extract, and dried cranberries (if using) until evenly distributed.
Step 5
Line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
Step 6
Transfer the mixture into the prepared dish and press it firmly and evenly into the pan using a spatula or your hands.
Step 7
Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to set. This helps the bars hold their shape.
Step 8
Once set, lift the parchment paper to remove the mixture from the pan. Place it on a cutting board and cut into 12 equal bars.
Step 9
Store the energy bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or in the freezer for longer storage.
