Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 ⅓ cups rolled oats
½ cup all-purpose flour
½ cup vegan semi-sweet chocolate chips
½ cup ground unsalted cashews
2 tablespoons shelled unsalted sunflower seeds
1 tablespoon ground flax meal
1 tablespoon wheat germ
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon sea salt
½ cup honey, warmed
⅓ cup almond butter
½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a 9x11-inch baking dish with aluminum foil.
  • Whisk oats, flour, chocolate chips, ground cashews, sunflower seeds, flax meal, wheat germ, cinnamon, and sea salt together in a large shallow bowl.
