Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 cups rolled oats ((gluten-free for GF eaters))
1/2 cup raw almonds, walnuts, or pecans ((roughly chopped))
1 heaping (seriously) packed cup dates ((pitted // deglet noor or medjool)*)
2 Tbsp chia seeds* ((see note))
2 Tbsp sunflower seeds ((roasted or raw))
2 Tbsp flax seeds ((ground or whole))
2 Tbsp hemp seeds
1/4 cup agave nectar or maple syrup ((or honey if not vegan))
1/4 cup creamy salted natural peanut butter or almond butter
Chocolate chips, dried fruit, other nuts, banana chips, etc.

Steps:

  • Toast your oats and almonds in a 350-degree F (176 C) oven for 13-15 minutes or until slightly golden brown.
  • Process dates in a food processor until small bits remain (about 1 minute). It should form a "dough" like consistency (mine rolled into a ball).
  • Place oats, almonds and dates in a large mixing bowl. Add seeds and set aside.
  • Warm agave and peanut or almond butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir and pour over oat mixture and then mix, breaking up the dates to disperse throughout. Use a spoon or your hands to thoroughly mix.
  • Transfer to an 8×8 dish or other small pan lined with plastic wrap or parchment paper so they lift out easily. (Or use 2/3 of a 9×13 // as original recipe is written // adjust if altering batch size)
  • Cover with parchment or plastic wrap and press down with something flat, such as a book, to get them really packed tight. This will help them from being crumbly. Chill in the fridge or freezer for 15-20 minutes to harden.
  • Remove bars from dish and chop into 10 even bars (as original recipe is written // adjust if altering batch size). Store in an airtight container for up to a few days. I kept mine in the freezer to keep them extra fresh, but it isn't necessary.

Time 1h30m

Yield 24 bars

Number Of Ingredients 9

Vegetable cooking spray
1 egg white
1/2 cup chunky peanut butter
1/3 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup honey
1/2 cup (1-stick) unsalted butter, melted
2 cups old fashioned oats
1/4 cup slivered almonds, toasted, *see Cook's Note
1/3 cup miniature chocolate chips

Steps:

  • Position an oven rack in the middle of the oven. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Spray a 7 by 10 3/4-inch nonstick baking pan with vegetable cooking spray. Lay a 6 by 18-inch piece of parchment paper in the pan, allowing the excess paper to hang over the sides. Spray the parchment paper lightly with cooking spray.
  • In a medium bowl, using a hand beater, beat the egg white until frothy. Stir in the peanut butter, brown sugar, and honey. Add the melted butter, oats and almonds. Stir to combine, then add the chocolate chips.
  • Using a rubber spatula, spread mixture into the prepared baking pan, pressing lightly to form an even layer. Bake until the edge of the mixture begins to brown, about 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool for at least 1 hour. Cut into 1 1/2-inch squares and serve.
  • *Cook's Note: To toast almonds, arrange in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake in a preheated 350 degree F oven until lightly browned, about 8 to 10 minutes.
