Servings 12 bars

Ingredients
  

  • 3/4 cup smooth nut butter (peanut, almond, cashew) (the runnier the better)
  • 5 tbsp maple syrup or liquid sweetener of choice
  • 2 tbsp coconut oil melted
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1/4 cup rolled oats ground to a flour in a blender to make 'oat flour'
  • 1/4 cup cocoa powder
  • 2/3 cup dark chocolate (vegan) for topping
  • Flaky salt (optional) for topping

Instructions
 

  • Line a tray or large plate (that will fit in your freezer!) with baking paper
  • Mix together the nut butter, maple syrup, vanilla, melted coconut oil and pinch salt until smooth
  • If you haven't already, make the oat flour by adding rolled oats to a blender and pulsing/blending until a fine flour forms
  • Add the oat flour and cocoa powder to the wet mixture, mix until thoroughly combined and a thick texture forms
  • Place the mixture onto your lined tray and press down until flattened - around 3/4cm thick. Place into the freezer while you melt the chocolate
  • Melt the chocolate in a double boiler (Bain Marie) or in the microwave. Remove the slab from the freezer and pour over the melted chocolate and spread out. Sprinkle over a tiny bit of flaky salt and place back in the freezer for the chocolate to set (around 20-30 minutes)
  • Remove and slice into bars. You can store these in an airtight container either in the fridge or freezer, depending on the texture you prefer. I prefer to store in the freezer because I love the texture after they’ve thawed for a few minutes. Enjoy!
