Instructions
- 1
Line an 8x8 inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal. This is your secret weapon for neat bars!
- 2
In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, shredded coconut, almond flour, cocoa powder, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, and sea salt. Stir well until everything is thoroughly combined and a sticky mixture forms.
- 3
Press the mixture firmly and evenly into the prepared baking dish. Use the back of a spoon or your hands to ensure it's compact and smooth.
- 4
In a microwave-safe bowl or double boiler, melt the vegan chocolate chips with the additional tablespoon of coconut oil. Stir until smooth and glossy.
- 5
Pour the melted chocolate evenly over the oat base, spreading it to the edges. You can get fancy and sprinkle a little extra sea salt on top for a delightful contrast!
- 6
Place the dish in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or until the chocolate is completely set. Patience is key here for perfect slices!
- 7
Once firm, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the entire slab out of the dish. Place it on a cutting board and slice into 12 squares or bars. Enjoy your homemade viral sensation!
Pro Tips
No cooking required! Make sure your ingredients are fresh and at the right temperature for the best result.
Don't skip the seasoning. Vegan comfort food shines when you're generous with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika.
This makes a big batch. Leftovers store well in the fridge for 3-4 days, and most components freeze beautifully for up to 3 months.
Taste as you go and adjust seasoning before serving. Plant-based dishes often benefit from a squeeze of lemon or a pinch of salt at the end.
