Ingredients
1 ½ cups old-fashioned oats
½ cup chopped almonds
½ cup natural peanut butter
⅓ cup honey
1 cup pitted dates
1 tablespoon chia seeds
2 tablespoons ground flaxseed
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
1. Soak the pitted dates in warm water for 10 minutes to soften them.
2. Drain the dates and blend them into a paste using a food processor.
3. Add peanut butter, honey, and vanilla to the processor and blend until smooth.
4. In a large bowl, mix oats, almonds, chia seeds, ground flaxseed, and salt.
5. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until fully combined.
6. Press the mixture into a parchment-lined baking pan.
7. Chill for at least 1 hour to set.
8. Slice into bars and store in the fridge or freezer.
Notes
These bars are no-bake and need chilling, not baking.
Use maple syrup instead of honey for a vegan version.
Bars hold best when kept cold — especially in warmer months.
