Chocolate Trail Mix Bars
Makes 8
Total time: 35 Minutes
Gluten-Free, Vegetarian
Ingredients
1 cup gluten-free rolled oats
½ cup trail mix
½ cup mixed roasted nuts, roughly chopped
⅓ cup chocolate chips
½ cup roasted sunflower seeds
¼ cup sesame seeds
¼ cup currants
½ cup honey or brown rice syrup
⅓ cup creamy peanut butter
2 ounces chocolate, chopped
¼ teaspoon avocado oil
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350° F. In a medium-size mixing bowl, combine oats, trail mix, nuts, chocolate chips, sunflower seeds, sesame seeds, and currants.
- Heat peanut butter and honey in a small saucepan and stir until bubbling. Pour over oat mixture and stir until well blended and everything is coated.
- Line a 9”x9” baking pan with parchment paper. Add mixture to the pan and with wet hands, press mixture flat.
- Bake for 15 minutes. Allow bars to cool before removing from the pan.
- Cut into eight bars and place on a cooling rack.
- Fill a medium-sized pot with two inches of water and place a heatproof metal or glass mixing bowl on top. You want it to fit snugly without touching the water. Bring the water to a simmer over medium-low heat. Add the chocolate and avocado oil to the bowl and stir until melted and combined. Drizzle the chocolate over the cooled bars.
