RECIPE: Chewy Cherry Thriver Bars 🍒
============================

Gluten-free, Dairy-free

Servings: 12
Prep time: 15 minutes
Cook time: 15 minutes
Total time: 30 minutes

Dry Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups gluten-free quick oats
1/2 cup sliced almonds
1/2 cup raw pumpkin seeds (salted or unsalted)
1/4 cup ground flaxseed
3 tablespoons cacao nibs
1/3 cup dried cherries (or cranberries), chopped if large
2 tablespoons unflavored collagen powder

Wet Ingredients:
2/3 cup creamy almond butter
1/3 cup pure maple syrup
2 tablespoons unrefined coconut oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon cardamom
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt, or to taste

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C). Line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving overhang on two sides.

In a large bowl, combine oats, almonds, pumpkin seeds, hemp hearts or flax, cacao nibs, cherries, and collagen powder. Stir to combine.

In a small saucepan over low heat, stir together almond butter, maple syrup, coconut oil, vanilla, cinnamon, cardamom, and salt until smooth and pourable (about 2–3 minutes).

Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients and mix well until fully incorporated and sticky. Taste and adjust seasoning as desired.

Scrape mixture into the prepared pan. Use a spatula or bottom of a measuring cup to press it down firmly and evenly.

Bake for 15–18 minutes, or until edges are just barely golden. Do not overbake—this step is to set the bars, not brown them.

Cool completely in the pan. Use parchment to lift out the bars. Slice into 12 pieces with a sharp knife, pressing straight down for clean edges.

Store in an airtight container: up to 1 week at room temp, up to 3 weeks refrigerated, or freeze individually wrapped bars for up to 3 months.
