Ingredients

• 2 cups rolled oats
• 1 cup almond flour
• 2 tablespoons chia seeds
• 0.5 cup honey
• 0.5 cup peanut butter (or almond butter)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 0.33 cup dried cranberries (or raisins)
• 0.33 cup chopped almonds (or other nuts)
• 0.25 cup dark chocolate chips (optional)
• 2 tablespoons coconut oil
• 1 pinch pinch of salt

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving overhang on the sides for easy removal.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, almond flour, chia seeds, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Stir until evenly mixed.

Step 3

In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the coconut oil and whisk in the peanut butter, honey, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined. Remove from heat.

Step 4

Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly until all the ingredients are well incorporated.

Step 5

Fold in the dried cranberries, chopped almonds, and dark chocolate chips (if using) into the mixture.

Step 6

Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking pan, spreading it out evenly and pressing firmly with a spatula or the back of a spoon to pack it down.

Step 7

Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let the bars cool completely in the pan.

Step 8

Once cooled, use the parchment overhang to lift the bars out of the pan. Slice into 12 bars or squares with a sharp knife.

Step 9

Store the bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
