Ingredients
  

For the Base
  • 1 cup Dark Chocolate Chips Substitute with dairy-free chocolate for a vegan option.
  • 2 tablespoons Coconut Oil Can be replaced with butter for a non-vegan option.
  • 1 cup Mixed Nuts A mix of almonds, walnuts, and pecans works perfectly.
  • 1 cup Rolled Oats Instant oats can be used but may alter the texture.
  • 1/2 cup Honey or Maple Syrup Maple syrup is great for a vegan alternative.
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract Opt for pure vanilla for the best results.
  • 1/2 teaspoon Sea Salt Adjust to your taste preference.

Equipment

  • 8x8-inch baking dish
  • Microwave-Safe Bowl
  • Spatula
  • Mixing Bowl

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare an 8×8-inch baking dish by lining it with parchment paper.
  2. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the dark chocolate chips and coconut oil. Heat in the microwave in 30-second intervals until melted and smooth, about 1 to 2 minutes.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the mixed nuts, rolled oats, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Add half of the melted chocolate and stir until coated.
  4. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and press down firmly. Drizzle the remaining melted chocolate on top.
  5. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes until golden brown around the edges. Let cool in the pan.
  6. Once cooled, lift the parchment paper to remove the bars and cut them into squares or rectangles.
