Chocolate Coconut Almond Snack Bars
This recipe for oatmeal snack bars is one of KERF’s most highly visited posts of all time, so I took that base and tweaked it around with fun ingredients like chia seeds, chocolate chips, coconut, and slivered almonds.
Servings 10 bars
Ingredients
- ¾ cup Quaker Old Fashioned Rolled Oats
- 2 ripe bananas mashed
- 2 Tbsp unsweetened shredded coconut
- 1/4 cup chocolate chips
- 2 Tbsp 15g slivered almonds
- 1/4 cup skim milk
- 1.5 tablespoons chia seeds
- 1.5 tablespoons almond butter
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Mix chia seeds with milk and set aside for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until chia seeds form a gel.
- Combine chia gel, bananas, and almond butter and stir well.
- Add remaining ingredients and mix well.
- Grease a 6x9 inch baking dish with non-stick product of choice.
- Press bars into dish, ensuring all corners are set.
- Bake for 20 minutes, until firm and no longer wet in the middle.
- Allow to cool for at least 10 minutes before cutting bars and carefully removing from baking dish.
