No-bake bars packed with oats, nuts and a satisfying chocolate crunch.
Best moment: Mid-morning fuel or lunchbox snack
Method:
-
Prepare your tin:
Line a small square or rectangular baking tin (approx. 20 x 20 cm) with baking paper, leaving a bit of overhang for easy lifting later. -
Mix the base:
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, chopped almonds, and sea salt.
Add the crunchy peanut butter and maple syrup, then stir thoroughly until everything is evenly coated and holds together. -
Add extras (optional):
Fold through choc chips, seeds, or any other optional mix-ins for extra texture or flavour. -
Press and chill:
Transfer the mixture to the lined tin. Press down firmly with the back of a spoon or your hands to flatten it evenly and compact it well.
Chill in the fridge for at least 1 hour, or until firm. -
Slice and serve:
Once chilled, lift the slab out of the tin and slice into 8 bars or smaller squares.
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week.
