Ingredients

Units Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup oat flour – if using homemade oat flour, make sure it’s very finely ground (not coarse)
  • 3/4 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup melted coconut oil
  • 1/4 cup + 1 tablespoon coconut sugar
  • 1/2 flax egg (1/2 tablespoon ground flaxseed + 1 1/2 tablespoons water, whisked together, set for 15 minutes) – remember to make just 1/2 a flax egg! 😉
  • 3/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup

Add-ins

Optional Topping

  • 2 tablespoons sugar free chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment or greased foil. Set aside.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together all the dry ingredients. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together all the wet ingredients. Whisk until well mixed.
  4. Add the dry mixture to the wet mixture. Stir and fold with a rubber spatula until no flour patches remain. Fold in chocolate chips.
  5. Transfer this mixture into the prepared baking pan. Using the rubber spatula, spread into an even, tightly-packed layer. Optionally, press chocolate chips into the top of the bars.
  6. Bake for 26-30 minutes, until golden brown on top. Mine took 28 minutes.
  7. Place baking pan on a cooling rack, allowing to cool for 30 minutes. Pinch the edges of parchment/foil and lift bars onto the rack to continue cooling completely (about 1-2 hours). Slice into 16 bars. Enjoy!
