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.
