Description

Simple recipe for chewy nut bars topped with dark chocolate and sea salt.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup mixed nuts (almonds, walnuts, pecans)
  • 1/4 cup nut butter (peanut or almond)
  • 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil, melted
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
  • 1 teaspoon flaky sea salt for topping

Instructions

  1. Line an 8×4 inch loaf pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the oats, mixed nuts, nut butter, honey or maple syrup, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix until well combined and sticky.
  3. Press the mixture firmly and evenly into the prepared loaf pan.
  4. Melt the dark chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
  5. Pour the melted chocolate over the nut mixture and spread it evenly.
  6. Sprinkle the flaky sea salt over the chocolate layer.
  7. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until the chocolate is set.
  8. Lift the bars out using the parchment overhang and cut into 8 equal pieces.

Notes

  • You can toast the nuts lightly before mixing for deeper flavor.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
