Serves: 16
Ingredients
  • 2 cups old fashioned oatmeal
  • ¼ cup ground flaxseed meal
  • ¼ cup chopped dark chocolate
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ cup maple syrup
  • ¾ cup creamy salted peanut butter
Instructions
  1. Line an 8x8 pan with parchment paper or foil and set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, combine oatmeal, flaxseed meal, chopped dark chocolate, and cinnamon.
  3. In a separate bowl, mix together maple syrup and peanut butter. If your mixture is a bit stiff, microwave it for 15 seconds and stir well until fully combined. If microwaved, allow it to cool for a minute.
  4. Stir wet ingredients into the dry mixture until fully combined and there are no dry spots. Spread the mixture into the lined pan and use a wet spoon, or plastic wrap and your hands to press down firmly into an even layer. Pressing down firmly and evenly will avoid crumbly bars.
  5. Place the pan in the refrigerator for 4-6 hours before slicing into squares (I did small squares to get 16, but you can also do 9 squares or 12 rectangles). Keep extras refrigerated in a container.
