Ingredients
- 1 1/3 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
- 1/3 cup almond butter
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a 9×11-inch baking dish with aluminum foil.
Step 2
Whisk oats, flour, chocolate chips, ground cashews, sunflower seeds, flax meal, wheat germ, cinnamon, and sea salt together in a large shallow bowl.
Step 3
Stir warmed honey, almond butter, and vanilla extract together in a bowl until well-mixed. Pour honey mixture into oat mixture; stir until batter is well-combined. Turn batter out into prepared baking dish. Lay a sheet of waxed paper over batter and press firmly to evenly distribute in the baking dish. Remove and discard waxed paper.
Step 4
Bake in the preheated oven until golden and fragrant, about 12 minutes. Pull aluminum foil from baking dish and cool bars in the aluminum foil for 10 minutes; remove and discard aluminum foil. Cut into bars.
