Ingredients

Nuget Oat Layer

  • 1.5 cups oat flour
  • ½ cup vanilla protein powder we used Garden of Life Whey
  • ½ cup maple syrup
  • cup all-natural drippy peanut butter

Peanut Butter Caramel Layer

Chocolate Coating

Instructions

  • Line an 8x8-inch pan with parchment paper and set aside.
  • Prepare the Nuget oat layer. Add all of the ingredients for the Nuget oat layer into a large bowl and mix vigorously with a spoon until it forms a thick dough.

  • Pour the peanut butter caramel over the top of the oat layer. Smooth the caramel layer evenly over the oat layer until it has a smooth top. Transfer the pan to the freezer for 1 hour to harden to completely freeze while you prepare the third layer.

  • Prepare the chocolate layer. Place the chocolate chips and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave for 20-second increments, stirring after each increment until the chocolate is melted and glossy.
  • Place a wire rack on top of parchment paper and spray it with nonstick cooking spray.
  • After the bars have hardened, remove the bars from the pan by lifting up the parchment paper. Slice the bars into 12.
  • Make the Snickers Bars. While the bars are still frozen (working quickly is important!), place one bar into the bowl at a time and spoon chocolate over it, completely coating it. Let any excess chocolate drip off the bar and then place it onto the wire rack. Repeat until all bars are coated. Option to sprinkle each bar with sea salt.
