Ingredients

• 1 cup Hazelnuts
• 1 cup Rolled oats
• 1/2 cup Cocoa powder
• 1/3 cup Pure maple syrup
• 1 cup Vegan dark chocolate chips
• 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1/4 teaspoon Salt

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread the hazelnuts on a baking sheet and roast them in the oven for 10 minutes.

Step 2

Remove the hazelnuts from the oven and let them cool slightly. Then, place them in a clean kitchen towel and rub to remove the skins.

Step 3

In a food processor, add the roasted hazelnuts and blend until they form a smooth butter.

Step 4

Add rolled oats, cocoa powder, pure maple syrup, coconut oil, vanilla extract, and salt to the food processor. Blend until the mixture is well combined and has a dough-like consistency.

Step 5

Line an 8x8 inch baking dish with parchment paper. Press the mixture evenly into the prepared dish, using your hands or a spatula to smooth the top.

Step 6

In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt the vegan dark chocolate chips and coconut oil together, stirring every 20 seconds until smooth.

Step 7

Pour the melted chocolate over the hazelnut mixture in the baking dish and spread it evenly across the top.

Step 8

Refrigerate the bars for at least 1 hour, or until the chocolate has set.

Step 9

Once set, remove the bars from the dish and cut into squares or bars.

Step 10

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
