Directions

Note:- Use certified gluten-free oats to make these bars vegan and gluten-free.

1 Done	In a large bowl, mix together oats, almonds, seeds, and hemp hearts. Set aside.
2 Done	Line an 8x8 pan with parchment paper covering the sides, and set aside
3 Done	In a pan, heat together brown rice syrup and almond butter. Stir constantly until the mixture is well combined and the edges begin to bubble a bit.
4 Done	Remove the pan from the heat and stir in vanilla, cinnamon, and salt.
