Instructions
Prepare the Nougat Base:
- 1. In a large bowl, mix together the oat flour, almond flour, protein powder, maple syrup, vanilla, and melted coconut oil.
- 2. Add plant-based milk, a little at a time, until you get a dough-like consistency. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of your mold or pan.
- 3. Make the Peanut Caramel Layer:
- 4. In the same bowl, mix the peanut butter, maple syrup, vanilla, coconut oil, and sea salt. Spread this over the nougat base and sprinkle the chopped peanuts on top.
Chocolate Coating:
- 1. Melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil (if using) in the microwave or over a double boiler. Pour the melted chocolate over the caramel-peanut layer, spreading it out evenly.
Set & Serve:
- 1. Place the bars in the freezer for 3-4 hours, or until firm. Once set, remove from the mold or pan and cut into bars.
- 2. If you like a little extra flair, sprinkle with some flaky sea salt before serving!
