About the Recipe
Ingredients:
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup chopped nuts (such as almonds, cashews, or walnuts)
- 1/4 cup dried fruits (such as raisins, apricots, or cranberries)
- 1/4 cup shredded coconut
- 1/4 cup sea moss gel
- 1/4 cup nut butter (such as almond butter or peanut butter)
- 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking dish or tray with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
2. In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, chopped nuts, dried fruits, and shredded coconut. Mix well.
3. In a separate microwave-safe bowl or small saucepan, combine the nut butter, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Heat gently until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
4. Pour the warm nut butter mixture over the dry ingredients in the large bowl. Add the sea moss gel.
5. Stir everything together until the dry ingredients are evenly coated and the mixture starts to clump together.
6. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish or tray. Use a spatula or your hands to press it down firmly and evenly.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges start to turn golden brown.
8. Remove from the oven and let the bars cool completely in the baking dish. Once cooled, transfer to the refrigerator and chill for at least 1 hour to firm up.
9. Once chilled, use a sharp knife to cut the mixture into bars or squares.
10. Store the energy bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week, or freeze them for longer storage.
