Ingredients
Scale
- 2 1/2 cups large flake rolled oats, divided
- 1/3 cup cashew butter or almond butter
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 2 large ripe bananas
- 1/2 cup pitted Medjool dates
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/4 cup shredded coconut
- 1/3 cup cacao powder or cocoa
- 1/2 cup non-dairy milk
- 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 F and line a 8×8-inch square baking dish with parchment paper. Leave some overhang so that you can lift the bar out after.
- To a food processor fitted with the ‘S’ blade, add 2 cups of the oats, cashew butter, coconut oil, bananas, dates, chia, vanilla, salt, coconut, cocoa, and milk. Blend until mostly smooth; some texture is fine. Add the remaining 1/2 cup of oats and chocolate chips. Pulse a couple of times to incorporate.
- Transfer the batter into your prepared baking dish. Smooth out with a spatula and sprinkle more chocolate chips over top, if desired. Bake for 28 minutes. Allow the bar to cool for at least 30 minutes before slicing. Cool completely before transferring into an airtight container.
