Description

To prevent the resulting bars from sticking together, place parchment paper or plastic wrap between them. It’s best to store them in the refrigerator, as they become very soft and sticky at room temperature. You can basically add any nuts and dried fruits to this bar. The original recipe includes chia seeds, but we couldn't find them and didn't add them. Instead, we added a bit of dried cranberries. I think raisins, dates, and dried apricots would also be great additions. Just be sure to monitor the consistency and slightly increase the amount of honey or syrup and peanut butter if you add extra ingredients.

Ingredients

Ground Oats - 4½ cups
Chopped almonds - 2.3 oz
Flaxseeds - ¼ cup
Roasted Peanuts - 3 oz
Honey - 5 tablespoons
Sunflower Seeds - 1.1 oz
Toasted Sesame - 1.1 oz
Pumpkin seed oil - ¼ cup
Grated Chocolate - 2.1 oz

Step by Step guide

Step 1

Mix all the ingredients in a bowl; you can chop the nuts a bit so that the almonds don't remain whole.

Step 2

Then add agave syrup or honey and mix well.

Step 3

After that, add the peanut butter and mix everything again until smooth.

Step 4

Next, line a not-too-deep and small baking dish with parchment paper, press the mixture firmly into it, and place it in the refrigerator for at least an hour.
