OK guys buckle up or down, whatever you native English speakers call it, because this one is a GOOD ONE 🤩

I’ve wanted to make wholesome low-sugar magic bars for-freaking-ever but every recipe I looked at was just convoluted 😒 I finally found my easy/healthy magic bar spirit animal recipe and HERE IT IS.

Such good ingredients you could eat them for breakfast, which I did.

Recipe inspired from Catherine of @plantbasedrd on instagram 🤤 I adjusted the recipe to the ingredients I had on hand and made a half batch instead.

Equipment

Standard loaf pan

Ingredients

1 cup oats (80 g)
1/2 cup walnuts (60 g) sub other nuts/seeds
1/4 cup sugar (48 g)
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp salt
1/3 cup coconut milk, divided (80 g) sub heavy cream or condensed milk
1/3 cup chocolate chips (60 g)
1/4 cup coconut flakes (20 g)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350F and line your loaf pan with parchment (I spray with oil first so the parchment sticks).
Process oats, nuts, sugar, cinnamon, salt until a fine meal forms.
Add half the coconut milk and process until a dough forms.
Press dough into the pan.
Sprinkle chocolate chips and coconut flakes (I crushed them with my hands).
Drizzle the rest of the coconut milk.
Bake 25 mins until coconut is all toasted.
Cool completely and slice. Enjoy!

Notes

I originally made these with 2 tbsp sugar but wrote the recipe with 1/4 cup. They were sweet enough for me so if you’re like me and enjoy a milder sweet taste, go ahead and reduce sugar to 2 tbsp!
