Ingredients
▢ 2 tablespoons ground flaxseed
▢ 5 tablespoons water
▢ 1 cup almond butter (or any nut/seed butter)
▢ ⅓ cup maple syrup
▢ 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
▢ 2 cups rolled oats
▢ 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
▢ ¼ teaspoon salt
▢ ⅓ cup vegan chocolate chips

Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8×8 inch pan with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, make the flax egg by combining ground flaxseed and water. Let sit 5 minutes.
3. Add almond butter, maple syrup, and vanilla to the flax egg. Stir until smooth.
4. Add rolled oats, cinnamon, and salt. Mix until oats are well coated.
5. Fold in chocolate chips, cranberries, and apricots.
6. Press the mixture firmly and evenly into the prepared pan.
7. Bake for 20–25 minutes, until edges are golden.
8. Cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
9. Lift out using parchment, then slice into bars.
Notes
These bars store well in the fridge for up to a week and freeze beautifully.
Customize with your favorite dried fruits or swap in seeds like pumpkin or sunflower for extra crunch.
For a nut-free version, use sunflower seed butter instead of almond butter.
