Chocolate Oat Bars
Ingredients:
- 1 cup coconut oil
- 1/2 cup packed organic brown sugar
- 1 ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 cups quick Gluten Free cooking oats
- 2 cups extra dark chocolate (approximately 3 large bars- the
more chocolate you have, the thicker the bar when it hardens) - 1/2 cup Organic peanut butter
Instructions:
Grease a 9×9 inch square pan.
Spoon coconut oil in large saucepan over medium heat. Stir in
brown sugar and vanilla. Mix in the oats. Cook over low heat
2 to 3 minutes, or until ingredients are well blended. Press half of mixture into the bottom of the
prepared pan. Save the other half for the topping.
Next melt chocolate and peanut butter in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring frequently until
smooth. Pour the chocolate mixture over the crust in the pan, and spread evenly with the back of
a spoon.
Pour the remaining oat mixture over the chocolate layer, pressing in gently with the back of a
spoon. Cover and refrigerate 2 to 3 hours or overnight. Bring to room temperature before cutting
into bars.
