Ingredients
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 1 cup natural creamy peanut butter
- 0.5 cup maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 0.25 cup agave syrup
- 0.25 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips
Directions
Step 1
Line an 8x8 inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving excess to hang over the sides for easy removal.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, peanut butter, maple syrup, vanilla extract, melted coconut oil, agave syrup, and sea salt. Stir well until all ingredients are thoroughly mixed and form a dough-like consistency.
Step 3
Press the oat mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish, using the back of a spoon or your hands to pack it down tightly.
Step 4
Melt the dark chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl or over a double boiler until smooth, stirring occasionally.
Step 5
Pour the melted chocolate over the oat mixture, spreading it evenly with a spatula to cover the entire surface.
Step 6
Chill the bars in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or until firm enough to cut.
Step 7
Use the parchment paper to lift the chilled mixture from the dish, then cut into 16 even bars.
Step 8
Store the peanut butter bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week or freeze them for longer storage.
