Vegan Peanut Butter Oat Bars

Place the oats into the bowl of your food processor and grind them for a few seconds (shouldn't be too finely grinded).

Add all ingredients, except the chocolate chips in a large bowl. Stir with a large spoon until blended.

Transfer the mixture to an ungreased 8 x 8 dish lined with parchment paper. Spread well and press evenly with a spatula. Place in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes to set.

Microwave chocolate chips with a little water for approximately 2 minutes on high, or until melted. Stir well to combine.

Spread chocolate mixture evenly over the peanut butter & oats mixture. Refrigerate for at least one hour before slicing. Store covered in refrigerator.
