Ingredients:
1 cup (80g) rolled oats
3/4 cup (100g) raisins
3/4 cup (80g) walnuts, roughly chopped
100g (3.5 oz) dried apricots, chopped
1 medium ripe banana, mashed
100g (3.5 oz) dark chocolate (without added sugar), chopped
1 teaspoon coconut oil (or oil of your choice)
Instructions:
Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 180°C (360°F). Line a baking dish or tray with parchment paper.
Mix the Ingredients:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, raisins, walnuts, and dried apricots.
Stir in the mashed banana until everything is well mixed and the mixture starts to stick together.
Form the Bars:
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish. Press it down firmly into an even layer to help the bars stick together after baking.
Bake:
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes, or until the edges start to turn golden brown.
Prepare the Chocolate Topping:
While the bars are baking, melt the dark chocolate with the coconut oil. You can do this in a microwave in short bursts of 20 seconds, stirring in between, or use a double boiler on the stove.
Add Chocolate Layer:
Once the bars are done, remove them from the oven and while still warm, pour the melted chocolate over the top, spreading it out to cover the surface evenly.
Refrigerate:
