Ingredients
  

1 cup rolled oats

½ cup chia seeds

½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder

½ cup maple syrup or agave nectar

⅓ cup almond butter (or any nut/seed butter of choice)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

½ teaspoon sea salt

½ cup dark chocolate chips (optional)

¼ cup shredded coconut (optional, for added texture)

Optional toppings: crushed nuts or extra chocolate drizzle

Instructions
 

Prepare Your Baking Dish: Line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal later.

    Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, chia seeds, cocoa powder, and sea salt. Stir until well mixed.

      Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, almond butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.

        Mix Everything Together: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Using a spatula, mix until everything is fully combined. The mixture will be thick and sticky.

          Add Optional Ingredients: If using, fold in the dark chocolate chips and shredded coconut gently into the batter.

            Press the Mixture: Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking pan. Use a spatula or your hands to press it down evenly into the pan, ensuring that it’s compact.

              Chill: Place the pan in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to allow the slices to set.

                Slice and Serve: Once set, lift the bars out of the pan using the overhang from the parchment paper. Place on a cutting board and slice into rectangles or squares.

                  Optional Toppings: Drizzle with melted chocolate or sprinkle with crushed nuts for an extra touch before serving.

                    Enjoy: Serve chilled or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
