Prep Time 15 minutes

Ingredients

Cookie Dough

  • 1 cup oat flour
  • 25 g vanilla vegan protein
  • 2 tbsp smooth peanut or cashew butter
  • 2 tbsp agave/honey
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil
  • Pinch sea salt

  • Oat milk as needed
  • Pinch sea salt

Chocolate

  • 75 g dark chocolate
  • 2 tsp coconut oil

Instructions

  • To make the cookie dough, combine the nut butter, agave and coconut oil in a heat proof bowl gently melt these in the microwave for a few seconds.
  • Mix through the oat flour, protein powder and a little pinch of salt. Once fully combined, fold through the chocolate or peanut chips if using.
  • Press the mixture into a lined container and pop into the fridge to chill whilst you prepare the caramel layer.
  • Mix the nut butter, agave and a pinch of salt together in a seperate bowl. Gradually drizzle in the oat milk whilst mixing so you're left with a smooth, spreadable consistency.
  • Layer this over the cookie dough and place the bars into the freezer for 3 hours to set.
  • Gently melt the chocolate and coconut oil together. Slice the caramel cookie dough into small bar sized pieces and carefully coat each of these in the melted chocolate.
  • Place the bars onto a parchment lined tray and drizzle over a little extra chocolate for decorated. Allow them to chill in the fridge for an hour so the chocolate can set.
