Ingredients
  

1 cup almond butter

1/2 cup maple syrup

1/4 cup coconut oil, melted

1 cup oats (gluten-free if desired)

1/2 cup dark chocolate chips (vegan if needed)

1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 teaspoon sea salt

1/4 cup chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans) for extra crunch (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Baking Dish: Line an 8x8-inch square baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal later.

    Mix the Base: In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond butter, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, and sea salt. Stir well until the mixture is smooth and creamy.

      Add Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the oats and cocoa powder to the wet mixture. Mix until fully combined. The mixture will be thick, but it should hold together when pressed.

        Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the dark chocolate chips and, if using, the chopped nuts to add a delightful crunch to your squares.

          Spread in Dish: Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Use a spatula or your hands to evenly spread and press the mixture down to create a compact layer.

            Freeze the Mixture: Place the baking dish in the freezer for at least 1-2 hours, or until the mixture is firm and set.

              Cut into Squares: Once set, lift the mixture out using the parchment overhang and place it on a cutting board. Cut into small squares or bars as per your preference.

                Store: Return the squares to the freezer in an airtight container, layering with parchment paper between them to prevent sticking. They can be stored for up to 3 months.

                  Enjoy: Take them out just a few minutes before serving to soften slightly, and enjoy these delicious frozen treats anytime you crave something sweet and healthy!
