Instructions
Make the Peanut Butter Base
In a large bowl combine rolled oats, peanut butter, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Mix thoroughly until a thick dough forms that holds together when pressed between your fingers.
Press into Pan
Line an 8 by 8 inch baking pan with parchment paper. Press the peanut butter oat mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom of the pan using the back of a spoon or your hands.
Melt the Chocolate
In a small saucepan over low heat or in a microwave in 30 second intervals melt the vegan dark chocolate chips with coconut oil stirring until completely smooth and glossy.
Add Chocolate Layer
Pour the melted chocolate evenly over the pressed peanut butter base and use a spatula to spread it into an even layer covering the entire surface.
Chill and Slice
Transfer the pan to the refrigerator and chill for at least 1 hour until the chocolate is completely set. Lift out using the parchment paper and slice into 16 bars with a sharp knife.
