Description
These soft and chewy almond bars are naturally sweetened with maple syrup, packed with oats and almond butter, and baked to golden perfection—a healthy snack or dessert.
Ingredients
1 cup almond flour
1/2 cup oats
1/4 cup maple syrup (or honey)
1/4 cup almond butter (or peanut butter)
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup sliced almonds (for topping)
2 tablespoons coconut oil, melted
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
In a large bowl, mix almond flour, oats, maple syrup, almond butter, salt, and vanilla until smooth and evenly combined.
Add melted coconut oil and stir to incorporate.
Press the mixture evenly into the prepared pan.
Sprinkle sliced almonds on top and gently press them into the batter.
Bake for 15–20 minutes, until edges are lightly golden and a toothpick comes out clean.
Cool completely in the pan before slicing into squares.
Notes
Substitute almond butter with peanut butter for a bolder flavor.
Add-ins like chocolate chips, cranberries, or shredded coconut are great for variation.
For vegan bars, use maple syrup instead of honey.
To make bars extra chewy, pulse oats briefly in a food processor before mixing.
Store at room temperature for 3 days, or refrigerate for up to a week. Bars freeze well for long-term storage.
