Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup toasted coconut flakes, divided
  • 1 1/2 cups rolled oats
  • 3/4 cup toasted sliced almonds, divided
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons hemp seeds (optional, or chia seeds)
  • 1/2 cup almond butter
  • 1/2 cup brown rice syrup (see notes)
  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil, divided
  • 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup vegan chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Toast the coconut and almonds, if needed (I do this in a dry skillet until golden brown)
  2. Place 1/2 cup coconut, 1/2 cup sliced almonds, oats, salt and hemp seeds, if using, in a large bowl.
  3. Place the almond butter, brown rice syrup and 1 tablespoon coconut oil in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat. Stir until melted together then add in the vanilla extract.
  4. Add the almond butter to the oat mixture and stir together to combine.
  5. Press into a 8×8 inch square pan.
  6. Melt together the chocolate chips and coconut oil until melted.
  7. Spread on the prepared oats and top with remaining coconut and sliced almonds.
  8. Place in the fridge until hard, about 2-3 hours. Slice into 12 squares and enjoy. For best results, store in the fridge.
