You know how I said I was going to take a “Chocolate Oat Bar Hiatus” because I was getting too obsessed with them? Well I cracked. So did these bars 🤷‍♀️ But I didn’t mind it and called them my crack bars.

I blame my cracking on the explore page. It kept showing me these homemade white chocolate snickers bars video. Every time this video came up I watched it but every time I watched it I got even more tired just watching the process 😅

You make layers and layers and you cover each bar individually… I wanted to eat the same thing but for like 20% the effort 🤷‍♀️ and this is what I came up with!

It has a caramely raw brownie layer and peanut layer and covered in chocolate in one fell swoop. Easy, delicious. Let me know what you think!

1/2 cup chopped medjool dates (80 g) about 4 large, you can sub a ripe banana, add some sweetener and use less milk if you like
2 tbsp peanut butter (32 g) sub other nut/seed butter
1 cup oats (80 g)

Toppings

1/2 cup peanuts (60 g) sub other nuts
1/3 cup white chocolate chopped (60 g) vegan if desired
1 tsp coconut oil (5 g)

Instructions

If your dates aren't soft, soak them in hot water for 30 minutes and drain. Add to your processor dates, nut butter, oats, cocoa, and blend until meal like.
Transfer to bowl and add enough nut milk 1 tbsp at a time to turn it into a non sticky dough, about 4 tbsp.
Press evenly into loaf pan with parchment. Sprinkle peanuts and press down gently.
Microwave chocolate and coconut oil 30 sec at a time to melt completely.
Pour into loaf pan, tap to even it, freeze until solid, about 1 hour.

Notes

If you don’t have a food processor and/or don’t want to deal with medjool dates, make the brownie layer by stirring together:
- 3/4 cup oat flour (90 g)
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder (24 g)
- 1/4 cup maple syrup (84 g)
- 2 tbsp nut/seed butter (32 g)
- pinch of salt
- about 2 tbsp (nut) milk (30 g)
If your medjool dates aren’t the soft, soak them in hot water for 30 minutes and completely drain before using them.
