Print Recipe Pin Recipe

Ingredients

  • Oat base
  • 120 g smooth peanut butter
  • 160 g rolled oats
  • 105 g pure maple syrup
  • 14 g coconut oil melted
  • Chocolate topping
  • 100 g dark chocolate chopped
  • 48 g smooth peanut butter
  • 15 –20 g chopped peanuts optional

Instructions
 

  • Line a 20 × 20 cm tin with baking parchment.
  • Mix 120 g peanut butter with the maple syrup and melted coconut oil until smooth.
  • Add the oats and stir until completely coated. The mixture should hold together when pressed.
  • Transfer to the tin and compact it very firmly into an even layer.
  • Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  • Gently melt the dark chocolate with 48 g peanut butter, stirring until smooth.
  • Pour the topping over the chilled base and spread evenly.
  • Sprinkle with chopped peanuts and refrigerate for 30–60 minutes, until firm.
  • Lift the slab out of the tin and cut it into 12 bars with a warm, dry knife.

Notes

  • Blend half the oats for a softer, more cohesive base.
  • Stir natural peanut butter thoroughly before weighing.
  • Add a teaspoon of maple syrup if the base feels crumbly.
  • Press the oat mixture firmly so the bars do not fall apart.
  • Use vegan, naturally sweetened chocolate if you want the bars to contain no dairy or refined sugar.
  • Let the slab stand for 5–10 minutes if the chocolate cracks during cutting.
