Equipment
- Mixing bowl and spatula
- Microwave or double boiler
- 7"x11" baking pan lined with parchment/baking paper
- Knife for slicing
- Food processor or blender (for grinding the oats)
Ingredients
- ½ cup coconut oil
- ⅓ cup honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract or essence
- 2 cups quick oats
- 1 cup ground oats
- ½ cup chopped walnuts
- 1 cup chopped almond nuts
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips or dark chocolate
- ¾ cup peanut butter
Instructions
- Line a 7”x11” pan with parchment or baking paper with around 2 inches overhang. Set aside.
- In a bowl, whisk together coconut oil, honey and vanilla. Mix well to combine.
- Add quick oats and ground oats and stir the mixture well until blended.
- Toss in chopped walnuts and half of the almond nuts and fold into the mixture until well incorporated.
- Place about 2/3 of the mixture into the bottom of your prepared pan. Evenly distribute and press down firmly using a spatula or hands by folding the parchment paper over the mixture to make it compact. Set aside the remaining oatmeal mixture.
- To prepare the chocolate-peanut butter/ fudge layer, combine chocolate chips and peanut butter in a microwave-oven safe bowl. Microwave at 30-seconds intervals, mixing between each one, until mixture becomes a smooth consistency. You can also use a double boiler on this step.
- Pour the chocolate mixture evenly over top of the oatmeal layer. Sprinkle the remaining chopped almonds and oatmeal mixture on top. Slightly press the topping into the fudge using a spatula.
- Refrigerate for about an hour or overnight to firmly set.
- Lift the bars out of the pan using the overhang from the parchment paper and slice into bars according to your desired sizes.
- Serve, share and enjoy!
