Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 1 ½ teaspoons matcha powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- ½ cup almond butter
- ⅓ cup honey (or maple syrup)
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Toppings
- ¼ cup white chocolate, melted (for drizzle)
Instructions
- Mix the wet ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the melted coconut oil, almond butter, honey, vanilla extract, and matcha powder until the mixture is smooth and evenly combined.
- Add the oats and salt: Stir in the rolled oats and salt until all the oats are fully coated and the mixture is well combined into a sticky, uniform batter.
- Transfer to pan and chill: Press the oat mixture evenly into a lined or greased baking pan. Place the pan in the refrigerator and chill for at least 1 hour to allow the bars to firm up properly.
- Melt white chocolate: In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate by heating in 15-second intervals, stirring between each until smooth and fully melted.
- Drizzle and slice: Drizzle the melted white chocolate evenly over the chilled bars. Return to the fridge briefly if needed to set the drizzle. Then slice into squares or rectangles as desired.
Notes
- You can substitute maple syrup for honey to make the bars vegan.
- Use gluten-free oats if you need to keep the bars gluten-free.
- The bars can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
- For a crunchier texture, consider lightly toasting the oats before mixing.
- To melt white chocolate without a microwave, use a double boiler over simmering water.
