These delicious healthy chocolate bars are so full of all the good stuff you don’t want to miss! And the best part? You don’t even have to bake them! Thank you to @jessicainthekitchen for this ingenious recipe.
INGREDIENTS:
• 1 ½ cups gluten-free oats
• ½ cup uncooked quinta quinoa
• 1 tablespoon coconut oil
• 2/3 cup natural peanut butter
• 1/2 cup honey
• ½ teaspoon sea salt to sprinkle on top
• Dark Chocolate for drizzling
• You could even add chia seeds, almonds, peanut butter for an extra tasty treat
PREPARATION:
• Line an 8×8 baking pan with parchment paper. Set aside.
• In a bowl, mix the oats, quinoa, chia seeds, and other nuts.
• In another small bowl, add the coconut oil, peanut butter and honey. Place in the microwave for about 15-second intervals until thoroughly combined and smooth.
• Drizzle the honey mixture on top of the oats mixture and stir all the ingredients together. The mixture should be thick and sticking together.
• In the baking pan, press the granola bar mix firmly and flatten with your hands until even. You can top it with some extra nuts or seeds or raisins that you have.
• Set the bars in the fridge for at least an hour to harden, or overnight if you want.
• In a separate bowl, melt about 2 tablespoons of dark chocolate or a few squares of dark chocolate in the microwave for about 1 minute, or in additional 30 second increments until melted. Pour the melted chocolate into a zip bag and cut the tip.
• Remove from the baking pan from the fridge and drizzle the chocolate all over the bars. Sprinkle with the sea salt. Place back in the fridge for 15 minutes.
• Remove from fridge again and take the bars out from the baking pan (the parchment paper will make this easy).
• Cut into half, and then each half into 6 bars for a total of 12 bars.
