Ingredients

The base

  • ½ cup gluten-free oat flour
  • ¼ cup virgin coconut oil
  • 3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
  • ¼ teaspoon fine grain sea salt
  • 1 cup gluten-free rolled oat

The middle layer

  • 1 cup raw or roasted almond butter
  • ½ cup virgin coconut oil
  • ¼ cup pure maple syrup
  • ½ tablespoon pure vanilla extract
  • pinch fine grain sea salt
  • ½ cup rice crisp cereal

The topping

  • ½ cup vegan chocolate chips
  • ½ tablespoon virgin coconut oil

  • ¼-⅓ cup toasted unsweetened large coconut flakes

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and line an 8-inch square pan with parchment paper.
  2. For the crust, process the almonds into a fine meal, then add oat flour, coconut oil, maple syrup, and salt, and process until combined.
  3. Add the rolled oats and process until the mixture comes together but retains some texture.
  4. Crumble the dough into the prepared pan, press it evenly, and poke holes with a fork. Bake for about 13 minutes and cool on a rack.
  5. For the middle layer, heat almond butter, coconut oil, maple syrup, vanilla, and salt in a saucepan until smooth.
  6. Stir in the rice crisp cereal and pour the mixture over the cooled crust. Freeze for 40-45 minutes until solid.
  7. For the topping, melt chocolate and coconut oil in a saucepan, then stir in shredded coconut.
  8. Spoon the chocolate mixture over the bars and sprinkle with toasted coconut flakes. Freeze until set.
  9. Slice into bars and serve immediately, storing leftovers in the fridge or freezer.
