Notes
Oat flour – add some extra oats to a blender or food processor and pulse until fine
Salt – if your nut butter contains salt you can skip this if you’d like.
Almond butter – any nut butter/seed butter will work here. I typically use natural peanut butter in these but you can also used the more processed types
Mix-ins – you can add any nuts, dried fruit or seeds you like, just keep the measurements approximately the same for the right balance.
Sweetness – if you want to make these a sweeter bar, you can drizzle with chocolate and/or add a high ratio of chocolate for the mix-ins
