Ingredients
- ½ cups rolled oats
- ½ cup oat flour
- 4 tablespoon ground flaxseed
- ¼ cup chopped raw almonds
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup maple syrup
- ½ cup almond butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- ½ cup chocolate chips for drizzle
Instructions
- Preheat oven to a 350° F.
- In a medium sized bowl, mix together the rolled oats, oat flour, ground flax seed, almonds, and salt.
- In a small bowl, combine the maple syrup, almond butter and vanilla.
- Stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until fully combined.
- Line an 8 or 9 inch square baking pan with parchment paper.
- Transfer the granola mixture into the pan, and press firmly. This is easiest to do by placing another piece of parchment on top of the granola and pressing down with a measuring cup or even your hands. The firmer it is pressed, the better your granola bars will hold together.
- Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until the edges are lightly brown.
- Allow to cool completely.
- For chocolate drizzle, place chocolate chips in a small bowl. Heat in the microwave for 15 seconds at a time, stirring between each heating, until the chocolate chips are melted. Drizzle over the cooled granola bars.
- Cut into bars or squares and enjoy!
Notes
These bars do tend to crumble a little bit. But I've noticed this same issue with crunchy granola bars from the store, and the crumbles don't take away from the deliciousness of the recipe.
