Ingredients
Base Ingredients:
  • 1 cup oat flour (sub coconut or quinoa flour for gluten-free)
  • 3/4 cup peanut butter (smooth unsalted is best, at room temp.)
  • 1/4 cup hemp seeds
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 1/4 tsp good salt
Chocolate Topping Ingredients:
  • 1/4 cup roasted peanuts (roughly chopped)
  • 3 tbsp cacao powder
  • 2 tbsp coconut oil
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 tbsp smooth peanut butter
Instructions

  1. Add the oat flour (or gluten-free substitute), peanut butter, maple syrup, salt and hemp seeds to a bowl and mix throughly with a fork until a stiff dough forms.

  2. Line a 21x11cm bar tin with baking paper, then press the dough firmly and evenly into the bottom. Place in the fridge.

  3. Add the coconut oil, maple syrup, cacao powder (it helps to sift this!) and peanut butter to the top compartment of a double boiler. Bring the water to a boil and stir the chocolate mixture constantly until well combined and smooth.

  4. Remove the base from fridge and sprinkle the peanuts on top, then drizzle the hot chocolate mixture evenly over the top. Spread it out with a spoon if necessary and give it a few taps on the bench before returning the slice to the fridge.

  5. Allow topping to set in fridge for at least 2 hours. Any less and it may still be a little soft - but still perfectly edible and delicious!

  6. Slice in half lengthways, then into bars of desired width.
