Equipment

Ingredients

For the peanut butter base

1 ½ cups creamy peanut butter
½ cup maple syrup
1 ½ cups oat flour

For the chocolate topping

1 ½ cups chocolate chips
1/4 cup creamy peanut butter

Instructions

Line a 9×9 inch square baking pan with aluminum foil or parchment paper. Set aside.
In a large bowl, place the 1 ½ cups peanut butter and maple syrup and microwave for 30-60 seconds until combined and smooth. Add oat flour and stir until well combined. The mix will be thick. Transfer mixture into the prepared baking pan and press evenly into the pan.
To make the chocolate topping, melt the chocolate chips and the remaining peanut butter in the microwave or on the stove. Stir until smooth. Spread over peanut butter layer.
Chill in the refrigerator until completely firm, about 2-3 hours. Allow to sit at room temperature for 10 minutes before cutting. Serve cold.
