Almond Joy Granola Bars
Ingredients
For the granola bars
- 2 cups old fashioned oats
- 1/2 cup toasted coconut flakes (I used sweetened, but you can use whatever you prefer), plus more for sprinkling (optional)
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- 1/2 cup organic flax seeds
- 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips
- 3/4 cup whole roasted almonds
- 1/4 cup coconut oil
- 1/3 cup almond butter
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup honey
For the chocolate coconut drizzle
- 1/4 cup chocolate chips
- 1 1/2 teaspoons coconut oil
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a 9×13 inch pan with parchment paper. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine oats, coconut flakes, chia seeds, flax seeds, mini chocolate chips, and roasted almonds. Stir until combined.
- In a separate bowl, combine coconut oil, almond butter, vanilla extract, and honey. Pour into oat mixture and stir with a spatula until evenly combined.
- Pour mixture into pan, spreading evenly to the edges (use the spatula to smooth things out). Bake for 25-30 minutes, until the granola is lightly golden brown along the edges. Allow to cool completely (placing them in the fridge for about 30 minutes does the trick).
- Combine the chocolate chips and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave in 15 second intervals, stirring between each, until melted. Place into a ziplock bag and cut a small slit in one corner. Drizzle over cooled granola bars, and sprinkle with extra toasted coconut, if using. Cut into 18 rectangles and serve!
