If you, like me, loveee chocolate, then you are going to love these choc chip almond bars! They are so thick, and chunky, made with oats, almonds and flaxseeds, this recipe is vegan and gluten free, and a delicious and healthier alternative to the usual sugar-laden treats! The almond meal and oats are so so good together, and give these bars a fantastic nutty taste! This recipe is low in sugar- mostly date sweetened, and also low in oil, so makes a great alternative to take to work, school, uni or to give to friends, family or for the kids!
