Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1½ cups rolled oats
  • ½ cup oat flour
  • ⅓ cup melted coconut oil
  • ⅓ cup natural peanut butter smooth
  • ¼ cup maple syrup
  • ¼ cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup mini chocolate chips
  • ¼ teaspoon sea salt

Method
 

Line your pan
  1. Line an 8×8-inch square pan with parchment paper, leaving extra on the sides for easy removal.
Mix wet ingredients
  1. In a large bowl, mix together the melted coconut oil, peanut butter, maple syrup, brown sugar, and vanilla. Stir until smooth.
Add dry ingredients
  1. Add rolled oats, oat flour, and salt to the bowl. Stir until everything is fully mixed. The dough should be thick and sticky.
Add chocolate chips
  1. Let the mix cool slightly, then stir in the chocolate chips so they don’t melt.
Press into pan
  1. Spread the mixture into the prepared pan and press it down firmly with a spatula or your hands.
Chill
  1. Place the pan in the fridge for at least 1 hour (or freezer for 30 minutes) until firm.
Cut and serve
  1. Once firm, lift out the block and cut into small squares or "hunks". Store in an airtight container.

Notes

  • You can make these nut-free by using sunflower seed butter instead of peanut butter.
  • For a firmer bar, use brown rice syrup instead of maple syrup.
  • Store them in the fridge for up to 2 weeks or freeze them for up to 3 months.
  • Don’t skip pressing the mixture firmly into the pan—this helps everything stick together
