Chia Almond Breakfast Bars

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Chia Almond Breakfast Bars.

1. Step 1

   To start your delicious almond bars, grab a bowl and mix together 2 cups of water, some chopped almonds, and a pinch of salt.

2. Step 2

   Let this mixture soak for about 8 hours or, for the best results, overnight.

3. Step 3

   This soaking process helps to soften the almonds, making them easier to blend and enhancing their flavor.

4. Step 4

   Once the soaking time is up, drain the almonds and give them a good rinse twice to remove any excess salt.

5. Step 5

   Now, it’s time to blend! In a blender, combine the drained almonds with 2 cups of fresh water.

6. Step 6

   Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy, which should take around 2 minutes.

7. Step 7

   Once blended, transfer this almond goodness to a large bowl.

8. Step 8

   Next, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly spray an 11x15-inch baking dish with cooking spray to prevent sticking.

9. Step 9

   Back to your bowl of almond mixture! Add in the flour, chocolate chips, olive oil, chia seeds, honey, powdered peanut butter, a sprinkle of cinnamon, vanilla extract, and 2 teaspoons of salt.

10. Step 10

    Mix everything together until the dough is well combined and you can’t see any dry flour.

11. Step 11

    Now, it’s time to spread the dough into your prepared baking dish.

12. Step 12

    Use a fork or spatula to evenly level it out, ensuring every bite will be just as delicious as the last.

13. Step 13

    Pop the dish into your preheated oven and bake for 30 to 40 minutes.

14. Step 14

    You’ll know they’re ready when the bars are cooked through and have a lovely light brown color on top.

15. Step 15

    Once they’re out of the oven, let them cool for about 10 minutes before cutting them into bars.

16. Step 16

    Enjoy your homemade almond bars as a tasty snack or a delightful treat any time of day!.
