Ingredients
  

2 cups rolled oats

1 cup almond butter (or any nut/seed butter of your choice)

1/2 cup honey or maple syrup

1/2 cup mini chocolate chips (or chopped dark chocolate)

1/2 cup dried fruit (such as cranberries, apricots, or raisins)

1/4 cup chia seeds or flaxseeds

1 tsp vanilla extract

1/4 tsp salt

Optional toppings: toasted coconut flakes, nuts, or seeds

Instructions
 

Prepare the Pan: Line an 8-inch square baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal. Set it aside.

    Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the almond butter and honey (or maple syrup). Stir until melted and smooth, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and salt.

      Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, add the rolled oats, mini chocolate chips, dried fruit, and chia or flaxseeds. Mix them well until combined.

        Combine Wet and Dry: Pour the melted almond butter mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir everything together until the oats and other ingredients are evenly coated.

          Press Mixture into Pan: Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish. Use a spatula or your hands (slightly damp to prevent sticking) to press it down firmly into an even layer.

            Chill: Place the pan in the refrigerator and let the mixture cool and set for at least 1 hour. If you’d like, top with toasted coconut flakes or additional chocolate chips before chilling.

              Cut and Serve: Once set, use the parchment overhang to lift the granola square out of the pan. Cut into squares or rectangles.

                Store: Keep the granola squares in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, or in the fridge for longer freshness.
