- 25g chia seeds
- 30g unsweetened desiccated coconut
- 40g dark chocolate chips or chunks
- 30g dried cranberries or goji berries
- 30g chopped nuts (e.g., almonds, walnuts)
Instructions:
- Mixing the Wet Ingredients:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond butter, honey (or maple syrup), and melted coconut oil. Stir until well combined and smooth.
- Adding the Dry Ingredients:
- Add the rolled oats, vanilla protein powder, ground flaxseed, chia seeds, desiccated coconut, dark chocolate chips or chunks, dried cranberries or goji berries, and chopped nuts to the bowl. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
- Shaping the Bars:
- Line a square baking dish with baking parchment, leaving some excess for easy removal later.
- Transfer the mixture into the lined baking dish, pressing it firmly and evenly with the back of a spoon or spatula to create a compact layer.
- Chilling and Setting:
- Place the baking dish in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or until the bars are firm and set.
- Once set, lift the bars out of the dish using the excess baking parchment and transfer them to a cutting board.
- Cutting and Serving:
- Cut the chilled mixture into desired bar sizes using a sharp knife. For a clean cut, wipe the knife between each slice.
- Individually wrap the bars in baking parchment or store them in an airtight container for convenient grab-and-go snacks.
