  • ½ cup peanut butter or almond butter Additional binding and flavor.

Method
 

Preparation

  4. Pour the sticky mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until everything is evenly coated.
Pressing
  1. Transfer the mixture into the lined pan and press firmly into an even layer, ensuring compactness.
  2. Use the back of a spoon or a flat-bottomed cup to press down.
Chilling

  2. Once firm, lift the slab out of the pan using the parchment liner.
  3. Slice into desired sizes for servings.

Notes

Customize bars with different mix-ins like dried fruit, chocolate chips, or other nut varieties. Keep bars in an airtight container in the fridge for optimal freshness.
