✨️Peanut Butter Energy Bars✨️

Ingredients
• ¾ cup smooth peanut butter or nut butter of choice - choose the 100% nuts kind
• 1/3 cup maple syrup - you can use a bit less to reduce the sugar content
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 ¼ cups jumbo oats
• ¼ cup of ground almonds
• 3 tablespoons pumpkin seeds
• 3 tablespoons sunflower seeds
• Pinch salt

Topping (optional)
• ½ cup 85% Dark chocolate
• 2 tbsp cocunt oil

Method
• Mix the nut butter with the maple syrup, vanilla, and pinch of salt.
• Add the oats, ground almonds, and seeds ( plus any other add-ins like some dried coconut or other seeds like milled flaxseed, chia seeds or sesame seeds).
• Press into a loaf tin or baking tin lined with parchment paper.
• Melt the chocolate with the coconut oil in the microwave in 30 second bursts or in a bain marie/ double boiler – the coconut oil gives the chocolate a softer texture but you can leave it out if you don’t have it.
• Pour over and spread out. Place in a freezer to set, then remove and slice into bars.
• Store in an airtight container in the fridge.
