Main Ingredients
  • 1 cup gluten-free oats For a base texture.
  • 1/2 cup almond butter Can substitute with peanut or sun butter.
  • 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup Use maple syrup for a vegan option.

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Enhances the flavor.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free oats, almond butter, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract.
  2. Stir until well mixed and it resembles a sticky dough.
  3. Gently fold in the dairy-free chocolate chips.
  4. Spread the mixture onto a lined baking dish, pressing it down evenly.
  5. Refrigerate for about 15 minutes to firm it up, then cut into squares.

Notes

For added texture, swap some oats for shredded coconut or mix in dried fruits like cranberries or raisins. Store leftovers in the fridge for a week or freeze them for up to a month. To serve, enjoy with dairy-free ice cream or tea.
