A pressed oat base, a layer of chocolate melted into coconut cream, and the rest of the dough crumbled over the top. Completely dairy-free, and nobody has ever guessed. The coconut cream does exactly what butter and milk would have done.
The chocolate layer stays soft as the bars cool, so let them go properly cold before you cut them or you will get one long smear instead of squares.
½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
⅓ cup unsweetened coconut cream
1 cup whole wheat pastry flour
½ tsp baking powder
½ tsp baking soda
¼ tsp fine sea salt
½ cup brown coconut sugar
¼ cup melted coconut oil
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
Topping
2 tsp vegan butter
1In a saucepan on low heat, melt chocolate with coconut cream until smooth. Set aside.
2Preheat oven to 350F. Grease a 9x9 silicone pan with coconut oil.
3In a large bowl, mix flour, 1/2 cup oats, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together.
4In a small bowl, combine the brown coconut sugar, oil, and vanilla extract. Pour into the larger bowl and mix all ingredients until smooth.
5Take 1/2 cup of the batter and set aside for the topping.
6Press dough firmly into prepared pan. Pour the chocolate spread over and spread out evenly.
7In a bowl, mix the 1/2 cup reserved batter with 2 tbsp muesli cereal and vegan butter. Crumble with fingers and sprinkle over the top of the chocolate layer.
8Bake for 20 minutes. Let cool before cutting into bars otherwise they'll fall apart. Enjoy!
