Chocolate Trail Mix Bars

Chocolate Trail Mix Bars Recipe

By Veegs

🔪Prep Time: 20 minutes

Ingredients

¾ cup old-fashioned oats

½ cup bran flakes cereal

½ cup mixed nuts, chopped

¼ cup dried cherries

¼ cup dried cranberries

¼ cup raw shelled hempseed

3 tablespoons peanut butter

¼ cup maple syrup

½ cup dairy-free chocolate chips, melted

Instructions

1Line an 8-inch square baking dish with parchment paper and come up about 3 inches on opposite sides. This will act as a handle to remove the bars from the dish.

2Add the oats, cereal, nuts, cherries, cranberries, and hempseed to a large bowl and mix well.

3Mix the peanut butter and syrup together and pour into the large bowl. Mix well. Add the melted chocolate and mix again.

4Press firmly into the prepared dish and into all corners. Let set in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.

5Grab the “handles” of the parchment paper and lift out of the dish. Place on a cutting board and slice down the center. Turn and make three even cuts, which will give you eight long bars.

I’ve never been good at introductions because when they’re needed, I seem to forget every single interesting thing about myself. But I guess we’ll start with the basics. My name is Maria, and I am a twenty year old student from England. I study history at the University of Oxford and live in Brighton, but I was born in Russia and moved to the UK around ten years ago. I’m a vegan foodie (as you can probably tell by this blog), a lover of long walks and somewhere awkwardly between extrovert and introvert. Veganism and healthy eating are a huge part of my life, given that both have helped me overcome an unhealthy relationship with food. Finding balance took a lot of time and patience. But, as with many things in life, hard work proved 110% worth it! Whenever I’m not in the kitchen or working in my room, you’ll often find me at the gym, or at the grocery store looking for inspo for my next recipe.
