Ingredients
2 cups quick oats
1 cup puffed rice
1/2 cup chopped nuts
1/4 cup ground flaxseed
1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
a pinch of kosher salt
1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
1/2 cup honey
1/3 cup natural creamy nut butter (you can also use seed butter), room temp.
2 tsp. vanilla extract
Instructions
1. First, finely chop nuts of your choice, then measure it out to 1/2 cup.
2. To a large bowl, mix together 2 cups quick oats, 1 cup puffed rice, 1/2 cup chopped nuts, 1/4 cup ground flaxseed, 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips, and a pinch of kosher salt. Set aside.
3. To a medium-sized bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup melted coconut oil, 1/2 cup honey, 1/3 cup room temp. creamy nut butter, and 2 tsp. vanilla extract. Whisk that until smooth.
4. Now pour the wet mixture into the dry, and mix until everything is well combined. Press the mixture into a lined 8 x 8 inch pan, and firmly press down with your hands, or parchment paper. Doing this will make your bars hold up well, so make sure it is very firmly packed.
5. Bake at 325 degrees F. for 20-25 minutes. Remove from oven, and let cool at room temp for 30 minutes, then place in the fridge to let cool 1 hour. Slice into 12 even bars, and enjoy!
