Ingredients
- 1 Cup gluten-free rolled oats
- 1/2 Cup dry roasted almonds roughly chopped
- 1/3 Cup cacao nibs
- 1/4 Cup dry roasted pecans roughly chopped
- 1/2 Cup roasted sunflower seeds
- 1/4 Cup hemp seeds
- 1/4 Cup sesame seeds
- 1/4 Cup currants
- 1/2 Cup raw honey or syrup sweetener of choice
- 1/3 Cup creamy peanut or almond butter
- 2 Ounces dark chocolate chopped
- 1/4 Teaspoon olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350° F. In a medium-size mixing bowl, combine oats, nuts, cacao nibs, sunflower seeds, hemp seeds, sesame seeds, and currants.
- Heat peanut or almond butter and honey or syrup sweetener in a small saucepan and stir until very warm. Pour over oat mixture and stir until well blended and everything is coated.
- Line a 9'x9" baking pan with parchment paper. Add mixture to the pan and with wet hands, press mixture flat.
- Bake for 15 minutes. Allow bars to cool before removing from the pan. Cut into eight bars and place on a cooling rack.
- Fill a medium-sized pot with two inches of water and place a heatproof metal or glass mixing bowl on top. You want it to fit snugly without touching the water. Bring the water to a simmer over medium-low heat. Add the chocolate and olive oil to the bowl and stir until melted and combined.
- Drizzle the chocolate over the cooled bars.
- Enjoy!
