Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/4 cup almond butter
  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 cups old-fashioned oats processed briefly
  • 1 cup puffed rice
  • 3 tbsp sliced almonds
  • 3 tbsp chopped cashews
  • 3 tbsp chopped walnuts
  • 2 tbsp golden flaxseed optional
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup chopped dark chocolate
  • 1/4 cup dried pineapple pieces
  • 1/4 cup coconut chips

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the Base: Line a square mold with parchment paper to prevent sticking and simplify the removal process.
  • Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine almond butter and honey. Microwave for about 30 seconds or until melted. Stir in vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
  • Combine the Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, mix together the oats, puffed rice, sliced almonds, chopped cashews, chopped walnuts, cinnamon, and salt.
  • Combine Wet and Dry: Pour the almond butter mixture over the dry ingredients. Stir well to ensure everything is evenly coated. Gently fold in the chopped dark chocolate, dried pineapple, and coconut chips until well combined.
  • Assemble the Bars: Transfer the mixture into the lined mold and press down firmly and evenly. You can sprinkle some extra chocolate chips on top for added decor and taste.
  • Chill and Cut: Refrigerate the mixture for at least 2 hours or until firm. Once set, remove from the mold and cut into bars.
  • Enjoy: Store them in an airtight container or enjoy immediately as a delicious snack!
