Ingredients

  • 2 cups quick cooking organic oats
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour I used Oat Flour
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup butter substitute softened ( I used Earth Balance )
  • 14 oz can sweetened condensed coconut milk
  • 3/4 cup smooth peanut butter
  • 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips I used Enjoy Life

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  • In a large bowl, stir together the oats, flour, brown sugar and salt.
  • Cut in the butter substitute to form a crumbly mixture.
  • Reserve 1 1/2 cups of the crumbs, and pat the rest evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan.
  • In a medium bowl, stir together the sweetened condensed coconut milk and peanut butter. Spread evenly over the oatmeal layer.
  • Sprinkle the chocolate chips over the peanut butter layer, then crumble the reserved crust over the top.
  • Bake for 30 to 35 minutes in the preheated oven, until golden brown. Cool completely before cutting into bars.
  • Stores well in the refrigerator, but we always warm them up in a microwave to make the flavor go from fantastic to divine!
  • Serve alone or with a scoop of your favorite non dairy or dairy ice cream.
