Ingredients

Bars

  • 1 cup old fashioned oats (certified GF if necessary) or more nuts/seeds/coconut for low carb option
  • 1 cup brown rice puffs (certified GF if necessary) or pistacchios for low carb option
  • 1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
  • 1/2 cup blanched sliced almonds or chopped pecans
  • 1/2 cup roasted salted pumpkin seeds or sunflower seeds
  • 1/2 cup chia seeds or ground flaxseed
  • 1/2 cup hemp seeds
  • 1/2 cup collagen peptides optional
  • pinch sea salt
  • 1 cup natural peanut butter or any nut butter
  • 1/2 cup coconut oil
  • 1/2 cup unpasterized honey or maple syrup

Topping

  • 1/2 cup coconut oil
  • 1/2 cup cocoa powder
  • 3 tbsp unpasterized honey or maple syrup
  • 1 tsp espresso powder optional
  • 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt

Instructions

For the bars:

  • Combine all the dry ingredients in a bowl. Line a 9x11 pan with parchment paper.
  • In a small saucepan over low heat, or in the microwave, gently melt together the peanut butter and coconut oil. Remove from heat and stir in the honey (you don't want to boil the honey or you'll lose the benefits of its raw form).
  • Pour peanut butter mixture into the dry ingredients and mix to combine. If mixture seems too dry you can add a splash of almond milk or more oil/honey.
  • Press mixture into the pan and set in the fridge or freezer to cool.

For the topping:

  • Using the same pan as the peanut butter mixture, gently melt the coconut oil over low heat, or in the microwave. Remove from heat and add the remaining ingredients, whisk until smooth and glossy. You do not want to heat the mixture with the cocoa in it or it will seize up or separate, so be sure to combine off the heat! Also, make sure to keep any water away from the chocolate mixture, even a drop or two can cause it to seize up.
  • Taste chocolate and adjust to your liking. Add more honey if you'd like it sweeter, or more salt/vanilla/espresso powder for more depth of flavour.
  • Pour chocolate over the cooled bars and place in fridge or freezer until set. Cut into bars and enjoy! Keep stored in fridge or freezer, the bars get melty at room temperature.
