    Equipment

    • Food Processor
    • Unbleached Parchment Paper
    • 8 x 8 Baking Dish

    Ingredients

    For the oat layer:

    • 3 cups organic gluten-free quick rolled oats
    • 1/2 cup organic coconut oil
    • 1 cup organic Medjool dates (pitted)
    • 2 tablespoons organic maple syrup
    • 1 teaspoon organic pure vanilla extract
    • 1/4 teaspoon Himalayan pink salt

    For the chocolate layer:

    • 1 cup Enjoy Life semi-sweet mini chocolate chips
    • 1 cup organic peanut butter (or cashew butter, almond butter, etc.)
    • 1 tablespoon organic coconut oil
    US Customary - Metric

    Instructions

    • Prepare an 8 x 8 baking dish lined with parchment paper, then set aside.

    Prepare the oat layer:

    • Add all ingredients for the oat layer to a food processor and process just enough to break the dates into tiny pieces and the mixture has a moist, crumbly texture. Take care to not over process or the oats will turn into oat flour. Set aside.

    Prepare the chocolate layer:

    • Add all ingredients for the chocolate layer to a small saucepan and melt on the lowest heat, stirring the entire time and taking care to not let the chocolate burn, then set aside.

    Assembly:

    • Add 1/2 the oat mixture to the prepared baking dish and press it down firmly and evenly on the bottom of the baking dish.
    • Pour the chocolate layer mixture evenly on top of the bottom layer of oat mixture, reserving a few tablespoons to drizzle on top if you'd like.
    • Using your hands, take a handful of the remaining 1/2 of the oat mixture at a time and crumble it on top of the chocolate layer mixture until the chocolate layer is completely covered with the top layer of oat mixture.
    • Using the palm of your hand, gently pat down the top layer into the chocolate until it is flat and as firm as possible without disturbing the chocolate layer.
    • Drizzle any leftover chocolate over the top layer of the oat mixture.
    • Place the baking dish in the freezer for approximately 60 minutes, or until it firms up and hardens.
    • Remove from the freezer and allow to thaw for about 5 minutes so they will be easy to cut.
    • Store in an air-tight BPA-free container in the freezer or refrigerator until ready to serve because the bars will get soft and lose their shape if left out at room temperature.
