US - Metric

Instructions

Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal, and set aside.
In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the coconut oil and chocolate chips. Microwave bursts of 20 seconds, stirring between each burst until completely smooth.
Stir in the creamy almond butter, honey, and salt if desired. Mix until smooth. Add in the oats, cereal, coarsely chopped almonds, and 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips. Stir to combine. Transfer the mixture into the prepared pan and use the back of a wooden spoon to press the mixture evenly and firmly into the prepared baking pan. Top with remaining 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips.
Cover bars with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour or until completely firm. Cut into 12 even-sized bars.

Notes

Note 1: I recommend a slow-roasted and lightly salted almond butter you enjoy eating straight from the jar. If you don’t enjoy the almond butter plain, you likely won’t love it in these bars.

Storage: Store bars in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks. Bars will get melty at room temperature.
