Chocolate Oatmeal Snack Bars

INGREDIENTS

• 2 cups quick oats

• 1/4 cup almond flour

• 1/4 tsp salt

• 6 Tbsp honey

• 1/4 cup almond butter

• 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk

• 1 tsp vanilla extract

• 1/2 cup add-ins (chocolate chips, dried fruit, nuts, etc.)

INSTRUCTIONS

• Mix the dry ingredients first.

• The honey + almond butter act as the glue for the oats, while the almond milk softens them a bit to make them soft.

• Add-ins are completely customizable! Mix together things like dark chocolate chips, dried fruit, nuts, seeds, coconut shreds, etc. to create different flavor combinations.

• When pressing the uncooked granola bar mix into your baking pan, make sure to spread it out evenly and use a spatula to pack it down slightly to ensure that your bars don’t fall apart.

• I added almond flour to make the bars a little more cookie like, but you can use an equal amount of oat flour if you don’t have almond on hand.

* If you need these bars to be nut-free, replace the almond flour with oat or coconut flour.

* You can also easily make these bars completely vegan by replacing the honey with maple syrup and using non-dairy chocolate chips (if using).
