Some notes before you begin:

TOASTING THE OATS AND NUTS:

It’s really important to toast the oats and nuts as this adds a deep and rich nutty flavour to these oat bars. This is extremely easy to do and it enhances the taste significantly.

WHICH BAKING TRAY/PAN TO USE:

You must use a high side baking tray in which the oat mixture can be pressed into a compact and even layer. When lining the baking tray, ensure that the parchment paper is longer on the sides, so that the oat bars can be easily lifted out from the baking tray/pan.

SUBSTITUTIONS

You can swap the vegan dark chocolate for regular dark chocolate if you like. Make sure to use a good quality dark chocolate for this recipe as it’ll enhance the taste a lot. You can also swap/add seeds and nuts of your choice to this recipe. Feel free to tweak it according to your tastebuds!
