Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line the baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal later.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine ground flaxseeds, rolled oats, almond flour, and salt. Mix well to ensure even distribution.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together melted coconut oil, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract until combined.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and stir with a wooden spoon until everything is fully incorporated. If using, fold in the mixed nuts or dried fruits.
  5. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly, pressing down firmly to ensure it holds together.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center feels firm to the touch.
  7. Allow to cool in the baking dish for 10 minutes before lifting out using the parchment overhang. Let cool completely on a wire rack.
  8. Cut into squares or bars and enjoy!

Notes

Press down the mixture firmly to help the bars hold together after baking. Store the bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week or in the fridge for up to two weeks.
