Ingredients

• 2 cups rolled oats
• 1 cup almond butter
• 1 cup honey
• 0.5 cup chopped almonds
• 0.5 cup chopped walnuts
• 0.5 cup dried cranberries
• 0.5 cup chopped dates
• 2 tablespoons chia seeds
• 2 tablespoons flaxseeds
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.25 cup dark chocolate chips
• 0.25 teaspoon sea salt

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Spread the rolled oats on a baking sheet and toast them in the oven for 5 minutes. This step enhances the flavor but is optional.

Step 3

In a large saucepan over medium-low heat, combine the almond butter and honey. Stir continuously until the mixture is smooth and well combined. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, combine the toasted oats, chopped almonds, walnuts, dried cranberries, chopped dates, chia seeds, flaxseeds, and sea salt.

Step 5

Pour the almond butter and honey mixture over the dry ingredients. Mix thoroughly until everything is well coated.

Step 6

Fold in the dark chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed.

Step 7

Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish. Use a spatula to press it firmly and evenly into the pan.

Step 8

Refrigerate the dish for at least 2 hours, or until the bars are firm and set.

Step 9

Once chilled, lift the bars out of the pan using the parchment paper. Cut them into 12 even pieces.

Step 10

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