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.
Small-batch Magic Bars
Servings: 12 bars
Calories: 123kcal
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- I originally made these with 2 tbsp sugar but wrote the recipe with 1/4 cup.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!
