Ingredients
  

1 cup rolled oats

½ cup almond butter

¼ cup honey or maple syrup

½ cup almond flour

½ cup dark chocolate chips (dairy-free if desired)

¼ cup chopped almonds

1 tsp vanilla extract

½ tsp sea salt

¼ tsp cinnamon (optional)

2 tbsp chia seeds (optional, for added nutrition)

Instructions
 

Prepare Your Pan: Line an 8x8 inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal later. This will help in serving the energy squares easily.

    Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond butter, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract. Use a spatula to mix them thoroughly until smooth.

      Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the rolled oats, almond flour, sea salt, cinnamon (if using), and chia seeds. Mix until combined.

        Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture. Stir until well combined. The mixture should be thick and slightly sticky.

          Add the Goodies: Fold in the dark chocolate chips and chopped almonds, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the mix.

            Press into Pan: Spoon the mixture into the prepared baking dish, pressing it firmly and evenly to ensure the squares hold together well once set.

              Chill: Place the dish in the refrigerator for at least 1-2 hours, or until firmly set. This helps the ingredients bind together further.

                Cut and Serve: Once chilled, lift the mixture out using the parchment overhang and cut it into squares or bars of your desired size. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week!

                  Enjoy: These Nutty Choco Boost Energy Squares are perfect for a pre-workout snack or a sweet treat during the day. Enjoy the delicious fusion of almond and chocolate with the crunch of nuts.
