Method
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, chopped almonds, sunflower seeds, honey, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix well until everything is evenly coated.
- Press the mixture firmly into the prepared baking pan, creating an even layer for the base.
- Bake the base in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until lightly golden brown. Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly.
- While the base is baking, prepare the topping. In a saucepan, combine the mixed berries, chia seeds, and maple syrup.
- Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the berries have softened and the mixture has thickened into a jam-like consistency (about 5-7 minutes).
- Once the base has cooled slightly, spread the berry topping evenly over the baked base.
- Let the bars cool completely in the pan before cutting them into squares or rectangles.
- Once cooled, lift the bars out of the pan using the parchment paper and cut them into your desired size.
- Store the breakfast bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
Notes
Feel free to customize the mix-ins with your favorite nuts or seeds for added texture and flavor.
