Notes

    ¼ cup nut butter, 2 tbsp honey
  • Press oat mixture evenly into the prepared pan.
  • In a microwave safe bowl, heat chocolate chips and coconut oil at 30 second intervals until fully melted, mixing in between.
    ⅔ cup dark chocolate chips, 1 tbsp coconut oil
  • Pour chocolate evenly over top oat mixture. Carefully drizzle tahini on top of the chocolate layer and create swirls using a toothpick.
    1 tsp tahini
  • Let oat bars sit in the refrigerator for 2 hours or until fully set.
  • Remove from the fridge, cut into even squares, and enjoy!

Cooking Tips

  • Consistency Check: After mixing the oat mixture with nut butter and honey, if it seems too dry, you can add a little more nut butter or honey to reach the desired sticky consistency.
  • Melting Chocolate: Be careful not to overheat the chocolate. Using short intervals and stirring in between prevents the chocolate from burning.
  • Setting Time: For quicker setting, you can place the bars in the freezer for about 1 hour. However, allow them to sit at room temperature for a few minutes before cutting for easier slicing.
