Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup almond butter
- 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup

Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, almond butter, honey (or maple syrup), cocoa powder, chopped almonds, mini chocolate chips, vanilla extract, salt, and instant coffee granules (if using). Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
- Line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
- Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish and press it down firmly and evenly using a spatula or your hands.

- Once set, lift the bars out of the dish using the parchment paper overhang and cut them into squares or rectangles.
- Store the bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
Notes
- For a nut-free version, substitute almond butter with sunflower seed butter and omit the chopped almonds.
- Add a pinch of cinnamon or a tablespoon of chia seeds for extra flavor and nutrition.
