Author: The Fit Green Gal
Recipe type: Breakfast
Serves: 8 bars
Ingredients
1 cup of gluten free rolled oats (I used Trader Joe's Ancient Grain and Super-seed Oats)
½ cup of unsalted creamy almond butter
½ cup of creamed coconut (or coconut butter)
2 teaspoons of coconut oil
1 teaspoon of vanilla
pinch of sea alt
Instructions
Line a 9 inch square pan with parchment paper and grease with coconut oil.
Add creamed coconut, coconut oil, almond butter and vanilla to a medium saucepan over medium low heat and stir until warm and coconut oil is melted with almond butter and coconut.
Remove from heat and add oats and mix well until oats are fully coated
Transfer mixture to pan and press firmly down to pack bars tightly. The harder you press, the better they will stay together
Place pan in fridge for 1-2 hours or until firm.
Cut into 8 rectangular or 16 square bars
Keep stored in the fridge in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks
