Ingredients
- 2 cups Rolled oats
- 0.75 cup Almond butter
- 0.5 cup Maple syrup
- 1 cup Vegan chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Directions
Step 1
Line an 8x8 inch square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving overhang on the sides for easy removal later.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats and salt, then set aside.
Step 3
In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, melt the almond butter and maple syrup together, stirring continuously until smooth and well mixed.
Step 4
Remove the saucepan from heat and add vanilla extract. Stir to combine.
Step 5
Pour the almond butter mixture over the oats, and mix until the oats are completely coated and evenly dispersed.
Step 6
Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking pan. Press down firmly using a spatula or your hands to create an even layer.
Step 7
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the vegan chocolate chips and coconut oil. Heat in 20-second intervals, stirring thoroughly between each interval, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
Step 8
Pour the melted chocolate over the oat mixture in the baking dish, spreading evenly with a spatula.
Step 9
Refrigerate the bars for at least 1 hour, or until the chocolate topping has hardened.
Step 10
Once set, lift the bars out of the pan using the parchment overhang and transfer to a cutting board.
Step 11
Cut into 12 bars and serve. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
