Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup walnuts, chopped
  • 1/2 cup almonds, chopped
  • 1/4 cup chia seeds
  • 1/4 cup dark chocolate chips
  • 10 dried apricots, chopped into pieces
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup maple syrup
  • 1/2 cup creamy almond butter
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil, use refined for a neutral flavor
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Dark chocolate drizzle (optional)

  • 1/3 cup chocolate chips
  • 1 tsp coconut oil

Directions

  1. In a large bowl, combine the dry ingredients together- the nuts, seeds, oats, chocolate chips, dry fruit, cinnamon and salt
  2. In a microwave safe bowl, melt the coconut oil and maple syrup together. Once melted whisk in the almond butter and vanilla extract until smooth using a whisk or immersion blender. If your almond butter is not smooth, I suggest blending it first before mixing it in.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and combine with a rubber spatula until everything is evenly coated.
  4. Line a 9 x 9 pan with parchment paper and flatten the mix into the pan.
  5. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before slicing. Slice into 12 larger bars or 24 smaller squares.
  6. Melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil until smooth then drizzle over each bar.
  7. Keep refrigerated for up to 2-3 weeks, or freeze for up to 2 months
