Wet Ingredients

One 15 oz can
rinsed and drained 270 g
1/2 cup
I used coconut milk 120 ml
1 tbsp lime juice or lemon juice
1/3 cup
I used cashew butter 80 g
1 tsp

Dry Ingredients

1/2 cup
or sugar of choice 100 g
2 cups instant oats gluten free if needed (180 g)
1 tsp
1/4 tsp
1/4 tsp
1/2 cup dairy free
+ more for the top 120 g in total

Instructions

Prepare and measure all the ingredients. Once you are done preheat oven to 360 degrees Fahrenheit (180 degrees Celsius) and line a baking pan with parchment paper. My baking pan measures 9″x6″ (23 x 15 cm).
Put all wet ingredients into a food processor and mix until smooth.
Add all dry ingredients (except chocolate chips) and mix again, just for a few seconds (don’t overmix).
Now add the dairy-free chocolate chips and stir with a spoon.
Spoon the batter into the lined baking pan. Top with more chocolate chips or chocolate chunks.
Bake in the oven for about 28-35 minutes (it can take some minutes more or less, depending on your oven and the size of your baking dish). I have a gas oven and baked them for exactly 35 minutes. You can insert a toothpick into the middle after 28 minutes. When it comes out dry, it’s done!
Let cool and cut into bars. Enjoy for breakfast or as a dessert!
