Ingredients

- ½ tsp ground cinnamon optional
- ½ tsp sea salt
- ⅔ cup chocolate chips optional
Instructions
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat Your Oven. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This helps your bars bake evenly and gives them a lovely golden color.
- Step 2: Prepare Your Baking Pan. Line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the sides.
- Step 3: Mix the Ingredients. In a mixing bowl, combine the almond butter, eggs, and pure maple syrup. Stir until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Step 4: Add the Dry Ingredients. Add the oats, ground cinnamon (if using), sea salt, and chocolate chips to the wet mixture. Stir until everything is well combined.
- Step 5: Transfer to Baking Pan. Scoop the batter into the prepared baking pan. Use a spatula to spread it evenly across the pan.
- Step 6: Bake. Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
- Step 7: Cool and Cut. Allow the bars to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, use the parchment paper to lift them out and let them cool completely.

Notes
- Ensure your almond butter is well-stirred if it’s natural, as the oil can separate.
- For a chewier texture, don’t overbake the bars; they should be slightly soft in the center.
- Experiment with mix-ins, such as chopped nuts or dried fruit, to add a personal twist.
- These bars store well, so consider making a double batch!
