Time 40m

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 ⅓ cups rolled oats
½ cup all-purpose flour
½ cup vegan semi-sweet chocolate chips
½ cup ground unsalted cashews
2 tablespoons shelled unsalted sunflower seeds
1 tablespoon ground flax meal
1 tablespoon wheat germ
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon sea salt
½ cup honey, warmed
⅓ cup almond butter
½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a 9x11-inch baking dish with aluminum foil.
  • Whisk oats, flour, chocolate chips, ground cashews, sunflower seeds, flax meal, wheat germ, cinnamon, and sea salt together in a large shallow bowl.

These bars are a bit too crumbly for my taste. I think I'll try adding a little more peanut butter next time.

These bars are a great way to use up leftover oats. I always have a bag of oats in my pantry, so it's nice to have a recipe that uses them up.

These energy bars were a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try reducing the amount of honey next time.
