Equipment

• 13 “ x 9 “ pan

Ingredients

  

1x2x3x

• 170 g Oats 2 cups
• 55 g light brown sugar 1/4 cup
• 60 ml olive oil
• 1/3 cup Maple Syrup
• 2 tbsp tahini see notes for subs
• ½ cup chopped almonds
• ½ cup almond flakes
• ¼ cup desiccated coconut
• 50 g dark chocolate.

Instructions

 

• Method.
• Preheat oven to 180 C
• Firstly, process about half cup of the oats (roughly 50g), until you get an oat like flour.
• Next in a large bowl, whisk in maple syrup, sugar, oil and tahini.
• Add in the cup of processed oats and stir.
• Then add in your remaining ingredients (except the chocolate) and make sure it is all mixed up.
• Line a 13 x 9 pan with grease proof paper (you could bake this in an oven dish of similar dimensions if you don’t have a pan.).
• Pour in your mixture and flatten until even. See images below for what it should look like.
• Bake for approximate 35 to 40 minutes, rotate tray midway through bake.
• 5 minutes before you remove the tray from the oven, melt the chocolate.
• Remove tray from the oven, then using a whisk, randomly draw lines of chocolate on the bar. (You can skip this if you have no chocolate, bars will still be yummy).
• Let cool for about 15 minutes, then divide into about 12 bars.

Notes

If you don’t have tahini, just sub with 2 tbsp olive oil instead
