How to Prepare No-Bake Apricot Almond Granola Bars [Vegan, Gluten-Free]

Line a 9x13 dish with parchment paper or foil and set aside.
Thereafter, in a medium saucepan over low-medium heat, add the almond butter, sunflower seed butter, and maple syrup. Once the butters have softened, whisk everything together so it’s smooth and creamy. Then, remove from the heat.
Next, add in the vanilla extract, salt, ginger/cinnamon, chia seeds, and flax meal and whisk together.
Then, add in the oat flour, brown rice crispy cereal, and gluten-free oats and stir with a spatula or wooden spoon to combine.
Lastly, add in the chopped apricots and almonds and stir with a spatula or wooden spoon once more.
Transfer the granola mixture to the lined 9x13 dish and press down hard with the back of a measuring cup until it’s even.
Set the pan in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to firm before cutting into squares. Enjoy!
