  1. Mix the flaxseed meal and warm water. Chill in the refrigerator for 20 minutes.
  2. Grease a slow cooker with coconut oil or cooking spray and line with parchment paper. Leave enough extra paper to act as a handle for removing the bars.
  3. In a large bowl, microwave the cashew butter and agave for 1 minute and stir until smooth. Microwave for an additional 30 seconds, if needed.
  4. Add the mashed banana, coconut sugar, almond milk, vanilla extract, and chilled flaxseed meal to the cashew butter mixture. Beat until well combined.
  5. In a separate bowl, mix together the oats, oat flour, protein powder, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add this to the cashew mixture along with the dried blueberries, cacao nibs, and chopped cashews, and mix until the ingredients are evenly dispersed.
  6. Spoon the batter into the slow cooker and spread evenly. Cook on low until the sides are brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 2-3 hours. Remove from the slow cooker and cool before slicing.
