- 1 ½ tsp vanilla extract
Directions

- Briefly pulse the oats in the food processor or blender to break them up. You don’t want to turn them into a our, just break them down slightly.
- In a large bowl, whisk the oats, almonds, pistachios, cocoa nibs and cinnamon. In a small bowl, mix the almond butter, honey and vanilla. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and mix together until everything is well coated.
- Scoop the mixture into the 8 inch pan. Pack the mixture down as firmly and evenly as possible using the back of a spatula
