1cuprolled oats90 grams, 3.17 oz
1tspvanilla extract
Instructions
Pre-heat the oven to 350ºF, line a 8x8” baking dish with parchment paper.
Make the flax eggs: mix the flax seeds and water in a small bowl and set it aside to thicken for 10 minutes.
Meanwhile gather all the other ingredients.
Place the almond butter and coconut oil in a large bowl, place it in the microwave for about 15 seconds, and whisk until melted and smooth.
Add the flax eggs to the bowl, and whisk until combined.
Next, add the sugar to the mixture and mix.
Add the milk. You can use any milk you’d like, I used almond.
Next, add the almond flour along with the baking powder and sea salt to the bowl. If the almond flour is too lumpy, make sure to sift it or whisk it before adding it to the batter.
Finally, add the oats and vanilla to the bowl, and stir with a spatula until combined.
Spread the mixture on the bottom of the prepared pan.
Bake in the oven for 20-30 minutes, until it looks golden brown on top, and slightly darker around the edges. If you press it lightly with a finger on top, it should spring back. If it feels too soft, it needs more time to bake. Check again in a few minutes. Cover with foil if the edges are baking faster than the middle.
Remove from the oven and let it cool down.
Slice it into bars.
You can enjoy these bars immediately, or they will store beautifully in the fridge for up to 4 days to be enjoyed later. I drizzled a bit of melted chocolate and melted almond butter on top of my bars. They will stay pretty soft and delicious.
Notes
Feel free to add any chopped nuts, chocolate chips, or chopped dried fruit to the batter. If you do that, add up to 1/3 cup of add-ins.
