Almond Butter Oat Chocolate Chip Crumble

Ingredients:

• 1 cup creamy unsweetened almond butter
• 2 cups oats
• 1/2 cup chopped almonds
• 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
• 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
• 1/4 teaspoon salt

Directions:

Line an 8 inch x 5 inch (or similar size)  baking pan with parchment paper.  Note:  The size of the baking pan doesn’t really matter because the batter will be crumbled later. The goal is to just press the batter down so some of it sticks together and cools.

Combine all the ingredients in a mixing bowl and stir to blend.

Pour the mixture into the baking pan, using the back of the spoon to spread the batter and flatten evenly.

Refrigerate for two hours hours.

Lift the crumble out of the pan and slide into a large bowl, using your hands to crumble the rectangular into granola like pieces.

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
