MAKES 10 BARS
1,5 cups rolled oats (gluten-free rolled oats may be used)
1/4 cup coconut sugar
2 teaspoons maca powder
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 cup salted roasted almonds, chopped fine
1/4 cup chia seeds
1/4 cup flaxseeds
1/2 cup your choice chopped nuts, dried fruit or super foods
2 tablespoons coconut oil
1/4 cup smooth almond butter
1/4 cup maple syrup
1. Line an 8-by-8-inch pan with parchment paper, allowing the paper to spill over the sides for easy removal.
2. In a medium bowl, mix together the oats, coconut sugar, maca powder, sea salt, cinnamon, almonds, chia seeds, flaxseeds and super food add-ins of your choice.
3. In a large skillet, heat the coconut oil over medium high heat. Stir in the almond butter. Add in the dry ingredients, mixing to incorporate and warm the ingredients, about 1 to 2 minutes. Pour in the maple syrup, stirring constantly, until all excess liquid has evaporated, about 1 minute. Transfer the contents to the prepared pan, and spread out evenly. Use the back of a spatula to press firmly into an even, flat layer. Refrigerate for 1 hour to solidify, then cut into 10 bars. Bars can be stored refrigerated or at room temperature (they will remain more firm if refrigerated). Stored in a sealed container, they will keep for up to 1 week.
