Walnut Chocolate Chip Oat Bars

1: Preheat oven to 350F.

2: Add oats, walnuts, and sea salt to a food processor. Pulse for 15-20 seconds, until a meal forms.

3: While processor is still on, pour in maple syrup and avocado oil. Process until a dough forms. This should take 1 minute or less.

4: Spread dough onto an 8x8 square baking dish lined with parchment paper. Keep an inch or 2 of the baking dish unfilled on all 4 sides.

5: Use a small spatula to shape the dough into a square about 1/2 inch thick.

6: Sprinkle chocolate chips over the top.

7: Bake for 11-12 minutes, then immediately lift parchment paper up to remove bars from the baking dish.

8: Allow to cool, then slice into 12 squares.
