Ingredients

1 cup almonds, whole
¼ cup walnuts, chopped
¼ cup almonds, chopped
¼ cup hazelnuts, chopped
2 tablespoons flax meal (ground flax seeds)
½ cup rice crisp cereal
1 tablespoon white sesame seeds
1 tablespoon chia seeds
¼ cup shredded coconut
½ cup maple syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ cup dark chocolate chips, optional

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 300°F/150°C and line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper.
Add all the ingredients to a large bowl. Stir until well-mixed.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking pan. Using the back of a spoon, smooth into a tightly packed, even layer.
Bake for 20 to 25 minutes. Make sure to bake them thoroughly so they hold together when cooled.
Cool completely, then slice into 12 bars.
Transfer the bars to an airtight container, dividing each layer with a piece of parchment paper to keep the bars from sticking together. They keep for up to a week in the fridge, and up to four days unrefrigerated.
Wrap them individually in parchment paper for easy transport.
