Ingredients
  

1 cup almond butter (choose smooth for a creamy texture or crunchy for added texture)

1/2 cup honey or maple syrup (depending on your sweetness preference)

1/4 cup coconut oil, melted (for a delightful richness)

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1 1/2 cups rolled oats (old-fashioned works best)

1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut (adds a tropical touch)

1/2 cup chopped nuts (such as almonds or walnuts for crunch)

1/2 cup dark chocolate chips (optional, for a touch of indulgence)

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (for warmth)

1/4 teaspoon sea salt (to enhance flavors)

Instructions
 

Prep the Pan: Take an 8x8 inch baking dish and line it with parchment paper. Make sure to leave some excess parchment hanging over the sides for easy removal once the bars are set.

    Mix Wet Ingredients: In a spacious mixing bowl, combine the almond butter, honey (or maple syrup), melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract. Use a spatula or whisk to stir them together until the mixture is smooth and well-blended.

      Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the rolled oats, shredded coconut, chopped nuts, ground cinnamon, and sea salt. Ensure all dry ingredients are evenly mixed to distribute flavors.

        Blend Wet and Dry: Gradually incorporate the dry mixture into the wet mixture. Stir continually until the two blend seamlessly. If you choose to add chocolate chips, this is the time to fold them in gently.

          Spread into the Pan: Transfer the combined mixture into the prepared baking dish. Using a spatula, spread it out evenly and press it down firmly to create a compact layer for the bars.

            Refrigerate: Cover the dish with plastic wrap or foil and place it into the refrigerator. Let it chill for at least 1-2 hours, or until it feels firm to the touch. This setting time is crucial for the bars to hold their shape when cut.

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

                Store or Serve: Enjoy these bars right away or store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. For convenience, consider wrapping individual bars for a quick grab-and-go snack!
