Ingredients
Oat Layer:
2/3 cup tahini
1/3 cup maple syrup
2 cups oats
1/2 cup oat flour
1/2 cup almond flour
1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom
Pinch of salt
Fudge Layer:
1/4 cup coconut milk
2 tablespoons tahini
1 cup chocolate chips (sweetened to your preference)
Instructions
Oat Layer: In a bowl, combine tahini and maple syrup until smooth. Add in cardamom and salt and incorporate well. Mix in the remaining dry ingredients until well combined. Press half the oat mixture into a parchment-lined loaf pan, flattening evenly. Set aside.
Fudge Layer: In a heatproof bowl, stir together coconut milk and tahini. Add chocolate chips. Melt these ingredients in a microwave or using the double boiler method. If using a microwave, heat in 30-second intervals, stirring each time, until chocolate is melted into the milky tahini. Once combined, allow the mixture to cool to a thickened, spreadable consistency. Spread the fudge layer over the oat base. Top with the remaining oat mixture and press evenly.
Place in the fridge until firm, then cut into bars or squares. Enjoy!
