Let's Cook
-
Step 1.
Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
Step 2.
In a large bowl, combine 2 cups old-fashioned oats, ½ cup quinoa, ½ cup chia seeds, ½ cup sliced almonds, ½ cup dried cherries, and ½ cup chopped dark chocolate. Stir to mix evenly.
-
Step 3.
In a small saucepan over low heat, combine ¾ cup creamy almond butter, ⅓ cup honey, 2 tablespoons coconut oil, and ½ teaspoon salt. Heat, stirring occasionally, until melted and smooth. Remove from heat and stir in ½ cup pureed prunes until fully incorporated.
-
Step 4.
Pour the warm almond butter mixture over the oat mixture in the bowl. Stir with a spatula until all dry ingredients are evenly coated and the mixture holds together when pressed.
-
Step 5.
Using your hands, form the mixture into bars, using about ⅓ cup of the mixture for each bar. Place the bars on the prepared baking sheet. Refrigerate until set, about 1 hour. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks.
