Prep Time: 5 minutes

Cook Time: 5 minutes

Serves: 16, this will depend on the size of your bars.

Ingredients:

2 C salted peanut butter (if not salted, add a 1/4 tsp.)

1/2 C + 2 tbsp maple syrup

1 tsp. vanilla extract

1 and 1/4 C oat flour

Chocolate Topping:

3 T. Peanut butter

1 ½ C. Chocolate chips (dark, semi, sugar free, it’s up to you)

1/4 – 1/2 tsp. salt, sea salt, kosher, or optional

What to do:

Butter, grease, or use parchment paper to line an 8 x 8-inch pan; set aside.

In a medium bowl, mix together peanut butter, maple syrup, and oat flour until well combined. Press the mixture into the prepared pan.

Chocolate Topping

In a microwave-safe bowl, toss in, peanut butter, and chocolate chips. Pop it in the microwave on low for about 2 to 3 minutes, giving it a stir every 30 seconds. Keep going until everything is melted and nicely combined. Drizzle that chocolate goodness over the bars and spread it out evenly. If you want, sprinkle a little salt on top. Then, stick the bars in the fridge for at least 30 minutes. This will allow the chocolate to harden before you slice them.
