Chocolate is simply delicious and you would have a hard job trying to convince me otherwise. I love to create new chocolate recipes. These oat brownie bars not only make a great dessert but they are also perfect as an energy snack between meals. Oh and did I mention they're incredibly delicious to boot and all my friends love them!

How it's done

Brownie mixture

In a bowl, mix the oats with all the other ingredients up to and including the salt. In a blending cup, blend the dates, water, coconut oil and vanilla until smooth, mix into the oats. Spread the mixture into a square (approx. 2 cm thick) on a baking tray lined with baking paper, leave to stand for approx. 30 mins.

To bake

Approx. 25 mins. in the centre of an oven preheated to 180°C. Remove and leave to cool in the tray. Cut into 8 equal bars.

Decoration

Place two-thirds of the chocolate in a thin-sided bowl and suspend over a gently simmering bain-marie, ensuring that the bowl does not touch the water. Melt the chocolate, stir in the remainder of the chocolate.

Coat the bars with the chocolate, sprinkle with the nuts and cocoa nibs.
