Ingredients
- ½ cup Butter
- ½ cup Peanut Butter
- ½ cup Honey
- ½ cup Sourdough Discard Flat
- 1 tsp Vanilla
- ½ tsp Salt
- 3 ½ cup Rolled Oats
- ¼ cup Hemp Seeds or Pumpkin Seeds
- ¼ cup Shredded Coconut
- ½ cup Chocolate Chips
- 1 tbsp Coconut Oil
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350℉
- In a small saucepan, heat butter & peanut butter, until they are melted.
- Once melted place in a medium mixing bowl, add honey, salt, vanilla and mix well.
- Add in sourdough discard, and mix well.
- Add in rolled oats, hemp hearts, and shredded coconut, and mix really well. It is thick but you want to make sure everything is mixed in evenly.
- Line a 9x9 baking dish with parchment paper.
- Pour mixture into the lined dish, and press down really well, until the mixture is evenly spread across and packed down.
- Bake for 25 minutes, until edges start to brown.
- Let cool in pan for 10 minutes, then pull out bars by lifting parchment, allow to cool completely on a cooling rack.
- Once cooled cut bars into desired size, I usually get about 15 bars.
- Once cooled and cut, melt chocolate chips and coconut oil.
- Drizzle chocolate over cooled bars.
- Place in the fridge for 1 hour.
- Wrap in individual parchment squares, or place in sealed container for storage.
- Store them in the fridge for up to 2-3 weeks. See storage notes for alternative options.
Notes
If your family is partial to a sweeter treat, you could add some coconut sugar, I do not find they need any extra sweetness.
You can use a different sized dish, you may just end up with varying sized and number of bars.
