Ingredients 

Crust

  • 1 cups walnut or pecan halves
  • 1 cups rolled oats
  • 8 whole medjool dates,, pitted
  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil,, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • pinch of salt

Chocolate Layer

  • ½ cup cocoa powder
  • ¼ cup coconut oil
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla
  • ¼ cup maple syrup

Instructions

  • 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.

Notes

If you feel your crust mixture is too dry, add an extra tablespoon of oil.
