Ingredients
Scale
Bars
- 2 cups old fashioned roll oats, gluten free if necessary
- ¼ cup oat flour, gluten free if necessary
- 1 cup walnuts
- ¼ cup chia seeds
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
- ¾ cup creamy almond butter
- ½ cup honey
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
Glaze
- 1 cup confectioners’ sugar
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon water, or more if necessary
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line an 8 inch square pan with parchment. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, stir together oats, oat flour, walnuts, chia seeds, salt, and cinnamon until fully incorporated.
- Add oil, almond butter, honey, and vanilla and stir until distributed and a thick dough is formed. Pour into prepared pan and smooth into an even layer.
- Bake for about 20 minutes, until golden brown around the edges and partially set on top. Cool completely in pan.
- In a small bowl, whisk together sugar, vanilla, and water. Add more water or sugar as needed until a thick, yet spreadable glaze is formed. Drizzle over bars. Bars may be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or frozen, wrapped in parchment and foil and placed in a zipper bag for up to 3 months. Thaw at room temperature about 1 hour or in the microwave for about 30 seconds.
