Ingredients

Peanut Butter Layer:

  • 1 cup peanut butter (you can use natural or regular, but the less sugar in the PB, the better for you the bars will be)
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil, melted
  • 3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Chocolate Layer:

  • 5 ounces (or about 1 cup) dark chocolate
  • 1/2 teaspoon oil
  • sea salt flakes, optional

Instructions

For Peanut Butter Layer

  1. In a blender or food processor, blend or process oats until it reaches a finer consistency (it doesn't need to be as fine as flour). 

  2. Combine the blended oats, peanut butter, melted coconut oil, maple syrup and vanilla extract and stir until well combined.

  3. Press peanut butter mixture into an 8x8 pan.

For Chocolate Layer

  1. Combine chocolate and oil in a microwave safe bowl and heat on high in 30 second increments, stirring each time, until chocolate is melted.

  2. Pour chocolate over peanut butter layer and smooth into an even layer. Let sit until chocolate hardens (you can put it in the fridge to speed up the process). 

  3. Top with sea salt flakes if desired and cut into bars.
