Before diving into the preparation of your Nutty Bliss Almond Butter Bars, it’s crucial to set up your baking dish correctly. Using an 8x8 inch or a 9x9 inch square baking pan, start by lining it with parchment paper. This step is not just a minor detail; it plays a significant role in the ease of removing the bars once they’ve cooled.

Ingredients
  

1 cup almond butter (choose smooth or crunchy based on preference)

1/2 cup honey or maple syrup (for a plant-based option)

1/4 cup coconut oil, melted

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1 1/2 cups rolled oats

1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut

1/2 cup chopped nuts (almonds or walnuts work well)

1/2 cup dark chocolate chips (optional for extra flavor)

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon sea salt

Instructions
 

Prep the pan: Begin by lining an 8x8 inch baking dish with parchment paper, allowing a little overhang on the edges. This will make it easy to lift the bars out later.

    Mix wet ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond butter, honey (or maple syrup), melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract. Using a whisk or spatula, stir these ingredients together until the mixture is smooth and uniformly blended.

      Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix together the rolled oats, shredded coconut, chopped nuts, ground cinnamon, and sea salt. Ensure the dry ingredients are evenly mixed to distribute flavors well.

        Blend wet and dry: Gradually add the dry mixture to the bowl with the wet ingredients. Stir with a spatula or wooden spoon until everything is fully incorporated. If you’re including chocolate chips, fold them in gently at this stage.

          Spread into the pan: Pour the mixed ingredients into the prepared baking dish. Use a spatula to spread the mixture evenly, pressing it down firmly to compact it into the pan.

            Refrigerate: Cover the baking dish tightly with plastic wrap or foil. Place it in the refrigerator for at least 1 to 2 hours, or until the mixture is firm enough to hold its shape when cut.

              Slice the bars: Once the bars have set, use the parchment overhang to carefully lift the mixture out of the pan. Set it on a cutting board and slice it into bars or squares according to your desired size.

                Store or serve: Enjoy these delicious bars right away or store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. For convenience, consider wrapping each bar individually for easy on-the-go snacks!
