Ingredients
For the Cookie Dough Layer:
- 2 ¼ cups gluten-free oat flour*
- ¼ cup pure maple syrup
- ¼ cup melted coconut oil
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- ½ cup vegan chocolate chips (a mix of mini and regular works great)
For the Chocolate Layer:
- ½ cup vegan chocolate chips
- ¼ cup + 1 tablespoon creamy, natural almond butter (unsalted)
Instructions
- Prep the pan: Line an 8-inch square baking dish with parchment or wax paper. Leave a little overhang on the sides to make lifting easier later. Make some room in your freezer — you’ll need it soon!
- Mix the cookie dough: In a medium-sized bowl, combine oat flour, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract. Stir with a spoon until the mixture thickens into a soft dough. Use a spatula if needed to bring it all together. Gently fold in the chocolate chips.
- Shape it up: Transfer the dough to your prepared pan. Press it down evenly with a spatula or your fingertips until smooth and flat on top.
- Make the chocolate topping: Place the topping ingredients (chocolate chips and almond butter) in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 20-second bursts, stirring each time, until the chocolate melts and the mixture is glossy and smooth. Alternatively, melt it using a double boiler.
- Assemble: Pour the melted chocolate mixture over the cookie dough layer. Use a spatula to spread it evenly. Feeling artsy? Add a few swirls for fun texture on top.
- Freeze: Pop the pan in the freezer for about 25 minutes, or until the bars are firm enough to slice cleanly.
- Slice & enjoy: Lift the slab out of the pan using the parchment edges, cut into 16 squares, and dig in!
- Storage tip: Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week, or freeze for longer. They’re best enjoyed chilled straight from the fridge!
