Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cups rolled oats
- 2 tbsp coconut flour
- 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
- 1 cup packed medjool dates (it’s about 12-14), pitted

Method
- Heat the oven to 350°F. Pulse the rolled oats, coconut flour, melted coconut oil, sea salt, vanilla extract and maple syrup in a food processor for about 1 minute, until a sticky paste forms, and press it into a parchment-lined baking dish.
- Bake the base for 11-13 minutes and take it out of the oven.
- Pulse the pitted dates, maple syrup, peanut butter and melted coconut oil in the food processor for a few minutes, until creamy, then spread the caramel over the base.
- Melt the dairy free dark chocolate and pour it over the caramel, then scatter the chopped peanuts across the top.
- Refrigerate overnight or freeze for two hours until hard, then slice the slab into bars.
