Ingredients

Instructions

  • Line an 8x8 dish with parchment paper and set it aside.
  • In a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, melt the butter ( or coconut oil ).
  • Add the sugar and vanilla and stir together over medium heat.
  • Add in the oats, cinnamon, and sea salt. Stir constantly for 4-5 minutes. Remove from the heat.
  • Pour just over half of the mixture into the bottom of the parchment lined dish and using a flat spatula, press it into the pan and flatten it out evenly. Set the remaining oat mixture aside.
  • Next, in a small saucepan over medium-low heat, stir together the chocolate chips and peanut butter and keep stirring until the mixture is smooth and the chocolate is melted.
  • Pour the chocolate and peanut butter mixture over the oat layer in the 8x8 dish, reserving 2-3 tablespoons to drizzle over the top.
  • Crumble the remaining oat mixture evenly over the chocolate layer, then drizzle the last of the chocolate peanut butter blend on top.
  • Pop into the fridge until set and solid. Approximately 2 hours.
  • Slice into 16 squares.
