This is SUCH an easy but delicious recipe, it’s one of my favourite ones I’ve come up with for a while for both of those reasons.
Now you could just call these flapjacks BUT they’re a little healthier and more cookie light in texture soooo we’re gunna go with oat bars. I love anything oaty (except porridge, dat is nassssty) so for me these are the perfect snack.
They’re not overly sweet, dark chocolate brings a bit of bitterness to counteract the sugar and there is some creaminess from the coconut oil that really lifts the whole thing. Along with chewy savoury oats its just a really good time.
They’re best eaten still a litttttle warm if you can so the chocolate is still melted, but still delicious cold. I took them in a picnic to have with some friends and we left them in the sun (oops) but it meant the chocolate melted so they were sooooo yummay.
They take no time at all to make, it makes a big batch and they’ll keep for up to a week in an airtight container, so the perfect treat to have on standby all week!

INGREDIENTS
- 220g rolled oats
- 250g plain flour
- 170g soft light brown sugar
- 65g caster sugar
- 1tsp bicarbonate soda
- Pinch sea salt
- 250ml melted coconut oil
- 2 eggs
- 100g dark chocolate chopped into chunks
- 50g desiccated coconut
METHOD
- Start by preheating your oven to 180C fan and line a baking tray with parchment or grease well. In a large bowl combine together the oats, flour, sugars, bicarb and salt and stir until well combined. Then add the coconut oil and eggs and beat until fully smooth and combined, then stir through the chocolate chunks and desiccated coconut until evenly distributed, then your mix it made.
- Pour the dough into the prepared tin and press until all the edges, ensuring it’s a smooth, even layer. Then bake for 20-22 minutes until darkened on top and there’s a slight bounce when pressed.
- Leave to cool for 10-15 minutes before cutting, then slice and enjoy!
