The creamy peanut butter, sweet agave, and rich chocolate blend so perfectly. I’m obsessed with how easy they are to make and how they satisfy that sweet craving while still feeling wholesome. And that sprinkle of flaked sea salt on top? Simply divine!

Ingredients:
- 1 cup natural peanut butter
- 1/3 cup agave nectar (or honey/maple syrup)
- 1/4 cup melted refined coconut oil + 2 tbsp (divided)
- 2 cups gluten-free old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1/4 cup blanched almond flour
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- Flaked sea salt
- Mix & Blend: In a bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, agave nectar, and 1/4 cup of melted coconut oil until smooth. Stir in the oats and almond flour until well combined.
- Prepare Pan: Press about 2/3 of the mixture into the bottom of a lined loaf pan (an 8-inch round cake pan works too if that’s what you have). For easier pressing, dampen your hands.
- Melt Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips and remaining 2 tbsp coconut oil for about 1 minute. Stir until smooth.
- Layer: Pour the melted chocolate over the pressed oat mixture and spread evenly. Crumble the remaining oat mixture on top.
- Chill & Finish: Refrigerate for at least 2 hours until set. Sprinkle with flaked sea salt, cut into 8-16 squares, and enjoy!
