In a food processor, pulse the pecan or walnuts and oats until a fine, crumbly texture. Add the dates, coconut oil, vanilla, and salt and pulse until you form a sticky mixture.
Line a 9×5 loaf pan with parchment paper. Press ⅔ of the mixture into the pan to make the crust of the bars.
Add the coconut oil, cocoa powder, vanilla, and maple syrup in a small bowl. Melt in the microwave for about 15-20 seconds until a liquid consistency. Pour over the crust layer.
Sprinkle the remaining crust on top to resemble a crumbly topping and press gently.
Cover and place the bars in the freezer and chill for 1.5-2 hours. Cut into bars into squares or into long bars and serve chilled!
Refrigerate or freeze bars for storage.
If you feel your crust mixture is too dry, add an extra tablespoon of oil.
