Steps

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8-inch square pan with parchment, leaving an overhang, and brush the parchment lightly with a little of the melted butter.
  2. Spread the oats and the almonds on a baking sheet and toast in the oven for 8 to 10 minutes, stirring once, until fragrant and lightly golden. Let cool for 10 minutes.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk the remaining melted butter with the maple syrup, brown sugar and almond butter until smooth, then whisk in the egg and vanilla.
  4. In a medium bowl, stir together the whole wheat flour, cinnamon, baking soda and salt.
  5. Add the flour mixture and the toasted oats and almonds to the wet mixture and stir until no dry flour remains.
  6. Fold in the chocolate chips, setting aside a small handful to press on top.
  7. Press the dough evenly into the pan with a spatula and scatter the reserved chocolate chips over the top, pressing them in lightly.
  8. Bake for 22 to 26 minutes, until the edges are golden and a toothpick in the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs, not wet batter.
  9. Cool the bars in the pan on a rack for at least 1 hour so they set, then lift out by the parchment and cut into 12 bars.
