Total Time: 15 mins
Cuisine: Vegan
Serves: 10 bars
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup almond butter
- 1/4 cup honey or agave syrup
- 1/4 cup pumpkin seeds
- 1/4 cup sunflower seeds
- 1/4 cup dried fruit (raisins, cranberries, etc.)
- 1/4 cup chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
- Line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, allowing excess paper to hang over the sides for easy removal later.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine rolled oats, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, and dried fruit. If using chocolate chips, set them aside for later.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, warm the almond butter and honey (or agave syrup) for 30-45 seconds until smooth and easily mixable. Stir thoroughly to combine.
- Pour the warm almond butter and honey mixture over the dry ingredients. Mix well using a spatula, ensuring all ingredients are evenly coated.
- If using chocolate chips, let the mixture cool slightly for 2-3 minutes before gently folding in the chips to prevent melting.
- Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking pan. Use the back of a spatula or clean hands to press the mixture firmly and evenly into the pan.
- Refrigerate the pan for at least 1 hour to allow the bars to set and become firm.
- Once chilled, use the parchment paper edges to lift the entire block out of the pan. Cut into 10 even bars using a sharp knife.
- Store bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week, or at room temperature for 3-4 days.
Tips
- Temperature Matters: Let your almond butter and honey mixture cool slightly before adding chocolate chips to prevent them from melting completely.
- Press Firmly: When transferring the mixture to the pan, use firm, even pressure to ensure your bars hold together perfectly.
- Customize Your Mix: Feel free to swap dried fruits or seeds based on your preference - these bars are incredibly versatile!
- Chill for Success: Don't rush the refrigeration process. A full hour helps the bars set and become delightfully chewy.
- Storage Hack: For longer preservation, you can freeze these bars for up to a month - just wrap them individually in plastic wrap.Pro tip: If you prefer a less sweet version, try reducing the honey and adding a touch of cinnamon or vanilla extract for extra flavor complexity!
