Instructions

1
Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving a 2-inch overhang on two opposite sides to use as handles later.
2
Add the rolled oats and almonds to a food processor and pulse 8–10 times until the almonds are roughly chopped and the mixture resembles coarse, uneven crumbs — some larger oat flakes are fine.
