Ingredients
- 1 cup dried tart cherries
- 2 cups oats (old fashioned or quick-cooking)
- 1 cup walnuts
- ¼ cup flax seed meal
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 eggs
- ⅔ cup honey
- ¼ cup dark cocoa powder (regular works too)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- ½ cup dark chocolate chips (I used Ghirardelli baking chips)
- optional: extra dried tart cherries and dark chocolate chips – for sprinkling on top before baking
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees and spray a 9 x 13 baking pan with cooking spray.
- In a food processor, pulse together dried tart cherries, oats, walnuts, flax seed meal and salt until finely chopped, roughly the consistency of sand.
- In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, honey, cocoa powder and vanilla until smooth. Add the oats mixture to the bowl and stir until evenly coated with the chocolate honey mixture.
- Add dark chocolate chips to the bowl and stir again. Pour mixture into prepared baking dish and spread out in an even layer.
- Sprinkle additional tart cherries and chocolate chips on top before baking 20-25 minutes.
- Let bars cool completely before slicing.
Notes
- While the bars will taste delicious warm or room temperature, they slice best when chilled in the refrigerator 3 hours or up to overnight. Wrap individually in plastic wrap and store in the refrigerator for up to 10 days.
