Recipe Card
ingredients
- 1 cup gluten free old fashioned oats
- 1 cup raw walnuts
- 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons avocado oil
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/3 cup mini dairy-free chocolate chips
Method
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350℉ and line an 8” x 8” square pan with parchment paper.
Step 2
Add oats, walnuts, and sea salt to a food processor. Pulse for 15-20 seconds, until a meal forms. While the processor is still on, pour in maple syrup and avocado oil. Process until a dough forms. This should take 1 minute or less.
Step 3
Spread dough into the prepared pan. Be patient, because it will take a minute to spread the dough evenly. Keep an inch or 2 of the baking dish unfilled on all 4 sides so that the bars are not spread too thin. I use a small spatula to shape the dough into a square about 1/2 inch thick.
Step 4
Sprinkle chocolate chips over the top of the dough. Bake for 11-12 minutes, then immediately lift parchment paper up to remove bars from the baking dish. Allow to cool, then slice into 12 squares.
