Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup gluten-free rolled oats
- 1/4 cup coconut flakes + 1 tablespoon for garnishing
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil, melted
- 1/3 cup roasted almonds, chopped
- 1/3 cup brown rice syrup
- pinch of sea salt for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly spray with coconut nonstick cooking spray.
- Then, in a medium size bowl, mix together oats, coconut flakes, and cocoa powder. Then, add rest of ingredients and mix with a wooden spoon. It may be easier to use your hands for this part.
- Once things are throughly mixed together, everything should be pretty sticky. To form bars, wet hands and scoop a palm sized amount of dough. Then shape into a bar, compressing the dough between your hands. Place on the baking sheet and repeat.
- You should be able to make 9-10 bars. For garnish, add more coconut flakes (press into bars) and a pinch of sea salt.
- Bake at 350 for about 8 minutes, just enough to turn the coconut flakes golden brown.
