  • ½ cup nut butter
  • ½ cup liquid sweetener agave, brown rice syrup, maple syrup, or honey, if not vegan

Instructions

  • In a large bowl mix the oats, flaxseed and mix-ins until combined.
  • Add in the nut butter and liquid sweetener and stir well until a sticky, uniform dough forms. Feel free to use your hands!
  • With damp hands, pour the dough onto a silicone baking mat or parchment paper and flatten it into a square about ¾ inch thick. (You can also use an 8x8 pan.)
  • Place the flattened dough into the refrigerator for about ½ hour. Remove and cut into squares or rectangles.
  • Store in the fridge.

Notes

Your mix-ins can be anything as long as they're finely chopped! I love cacao nibs, mini chocolate chips, dried apricots, dates, raisins, etc.
Two of my favorite combinations are cashew butter with dried apricots and peanut butter with cacao nibs.
