Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups rolled oats
- 1/2 cup chopped almonds
- 1/4 cup sunflower seeds
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup mixed berries (fresh or frozen)
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
- Combine the rolled oats, chopped almonds, sunflower seeds, honey, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, and salt in a large mixing bowl until well mixed.
- Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan, ensuring it spreads evenly.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes until the top is lightly golden brown. Remove and let it cool slightly.
- Prepare the berry topping by adding the mixed berries, chia seeds, and maple syrup to a saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the berries soften and the mixture thickens (about 5-7 minutes).
- Spread the berry topping evenly over the baked base once it has cooled slightly.
- Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares or rectangles.
- Lift the bars out using the parchment paper, then slice them into your preferred sizes.
