1/2 cup coconut oil
1/2 cup peanut butter
1/4 cup maple syrup
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup roasted nuts (almonds, cashews etc)
1/2 cup roast pumpkin seeds
1/2 cup roast sunflower seeds
1/4 cup chia seeds
1/4 cup cacao powder
1/2 cup coconut
1 cup oats
80g dark chocolate (we used Whittaker’s 50%)
1 Tbsp coconut oil (we use Blue Coconut Oil)

Instructions:

Warm coconut oil, peanut and maple syrup in a small saucepan over low heat.

In a large bowl, place oats, nuts, seeds, cacao, chia seeds and coconut and mix together.

Add the warm coconut oil mixture, as well as the vanilla extract and mix well.

Transfer to an 20x30cm dish lined with baking paper. Press down. 

Melt the chocolate and oil together by placing in the microwave and heating for short 10-20 bursts until just melted. Stir well until smooth.

Pour chocolate over the base and spread it out. Place in the fridge for 2 hours or until firm. Slice and store in an airtight container in the fridge.
