Description

Ingredients

• ⅓ C. Unsalted Butter
• 2 C. Gluten-Free Oats*
• ½ C. Coconut Sugar*
• ¼ C. Coconut Nectar*
• ½ t. Sea Salt
• 1½ t. Vanilla
• 6 oz. Mini-Chocolate Chips*
• ¼ C. Chopped Pecans
• Parchment Paper {you will be so sorry if you omit this}

Directions

• Preheat the oven to 450-degrees.
• Thoroughly blend butter with oats. Blend in coconut sugar, coconut nectar, salt and vanilla.
• Line an 8′ x 8′ baking dish with parchment paper {an absolute}. Firmly pack the mixture into the parchment paper lined baking dish.
• Bake for 12-15 minutes. It should be a rich, caramel-ly color. Let this cool completely. Once cooled, turn out of pan onto a flat surface (like a cutting board).
• Melt the chocolate slowly over hot, but not boiling, water. Spread the chocolate over the top of the bars and sprinkle with the chopped pecans.
• Once the chocolate has completely cooled and returned to a dull texture, cut into small squares.
