Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup creamy almond butter
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup refined coconut oil
  • 1/2 cup mix-ins (vegan chocolate chips, dried cranberries, etc.)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt

Method
 

  1. Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment and stir the oats, salt, and any dry mix-ins together in a large bowl.
  2. Warm the almond butter, maple syrup, and coconut oil in a small saucepan over low heat for about 2 minutes until smooth. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla.
  3. Pour the wet mixture over the oats and fold everything together, then press the mixture firmly into the prepared pan using damp hands or a flat-bottomed glass.
  4. Refrigerate the pan for at least 1 hour until firm, then lift out, slice into 8 bars, and serve.

Notes

These bars need at least an hour in the fridge to firm up, so keep that chilling time separate from the quick hands-on prep. For the tightest texture, weigh the slab down with a second pan on top while it chills.
