Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 2/3 cup maple syrup
  • 1/2 cup almond butter
  • 1/4 cup coconut sugar
  • 1/2 tsp. sea salt
  • 1/4 cup cocoa powder
  • 1 1/2 tsp. vanilla
  • 2 cups quick oats
  • 1/2 cup slivered almonds
  • 1/2 cup rice crisp cereal
  • 2 tbsp. chia seeds

Instruction

  • Line a 9x9 dish with parchment, lightly grease the paper and set aside.
  • In a large sauce pan over medium low heat, melt together the maple syrup, almond butter, coconut sugar and sea salt, stirring until smooth.
  • Remove from heat and stir in the cocoa powder, mixing until lump-free. Stir in the vanilla.
  • Stir in the oats, 1/2 cup at a time. It gets very hard to mix but that means they will hold together well. Stir in the slivered almonds, then fold in the rice crisp cereal.
  • Transfer the mixture to the lined 9x9 and press it in really well.
  • Sprinkle the top with chia seeds and, using the back of a spoon, press the seeds into the top of the mixture.
  • Set in the freezer for an hour, then slice into bars.
  • Store, covered, in the fridge or freezer for up to a week.
