Equipment

- Parchment Paper
- Silicone spatula or spoon
Ingredients
For The Bars
- 2 cups organic oats
- 1/2 cup pitted medpool dates about 5 large dates
- 2 tbs organic raw cacao powder
- 1/4 cup raw honey
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbs melted coconut oil
- 1/8 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 cup filtered water
For The Chocolate Drizzle
- 2 tbsp dark chocolate chips
- 1 tsp coconut oil
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350, and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
- In your food processor or blender, combine 1 cup of the oats, and the rest of the bar ingredients. Blend until smooth.
- Add the remaining cup of oats, and blend again until smooth.
- Using a large spoon or rubber spatula, spread the mixture onto the parchment paper. Wet your spatula often to prevent sticking. Make a large rectangular shape, about 1/3″ thick.
- Bake the snack bars for 20 minutes
- Allow the bars to cool for about 10 minutes, and while they are cooling prepare the dark chocolate and coconut oil for drizzling.
- Cut the rectangle into 12 equal pieces, and gently drizzle chocolate over the top of the bars with a spoon. You could also use a ziploc bag with the corner cut as a piping bag.
- Once completely cool, store in an airtight container in the fridge for a week! You could also wrap individually in plastic wrap for a grab and go option.
