Ingredients

  • 1/4 c. coconut oil, melted
  • 1 c. creamy peanut butter
  • 2 Tbsp. honey
  • 2 Tbsp. sugar free syrup or sweetener
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp. vanilla
  • 1/2 c. oat flour
  • 1/2 c. almond flour
  • 1/2 tsp. baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp. salt

Chocolate Layer

  • 1 1/2 c. chocolate chips (I used semi-sweet)
  • 2 Tbsp. coconut oil

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk the coconut oil, peanut butter, honey/sweetener, egg, vanilla, oat flour, almond flour, baking powder, and salt. Then, spread into an 8x8 or 9x9 parchment-lined baking dish. Bake for 12-15 minutes. Then, allow to cool for about 10 minutes.
  • In a microwave-safe dish, microwave the chocolate chips and coconut oil for 25-second increments until melted. Stir well. Next, spread over the baked bars with an offset spatula, knife, or small spoon. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. You can also freeze.
  • Remove the bars from the baking dish and slice into squares.
