Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, almond flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Stir until well mixed.

- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until everything is well combined.
- Fold in the chocolate chips, dried fruit, and chopped nuts (if using).
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the top is golden brown.
- Allow the bars to cool in the baking dish for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Once cooled, cut into squares or bars.
- These oatmeal bars are perfect for a quick snack or breakfast on the go!
