Cherry Almond Granola Bars

INGREDIENTS
1 1/2c cup rolled oats
1/4 cup LSA
½ cup sliced almonds/walnuts
½ cup shredded coconut
¼ cup whole almonds, roasted
1 Tbsp Chia seeds
¼ cup dried cherries, diced
1/4 cup almond butter
50g butter
1/4 cup Honey
1 banana, mashed
1 tsp vanilla extract
½ tsp cinnamon
½ tsp salt

DIRECTIONS

Preheat your oven to 180 degrees. On a large baking sheet, spread out your oats into an even, single layer. Toast for about 10 minutes, tossing slightly and rotating halfway through. Add your sliced nuts and coconut and toast for 3 additional minutes.

While you’re waiting, add your honey, banana, butter, and almond butter to a medium size pot and warm on low heat. Add your vanilla extract and whisk once more.

When the oat-coconut-nutty combo comes out of the oven, immediately transfer to the pot . Add your cinnamon and salt to the bowl and toss together. Fold in your whole almonds and cherry pieces. Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl and fold together (a rubber spatula works best here) until everything is evenly coated.

Line a square pan (9″x 9″ or 8″x 8″ will work) with non-stick paper. Add the mixture to the pan and press down until evenly spread to all corners of the pan. It works best if you slightly dampen your fingers and work quickly to the edges.

Transfer the pan back to the oven and bake for 10–15 minutes or until slightly browned at the edges. You don’t want to wait until the bars are very browned or hardened as that will result in areally crunchy granola bar once they cool.
