Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Rubber spatula
  • Baking paper
  • Rolling Pin
  • Heart cookie cutter

Ingredients
  

  • 60 gm Oat flour (toasted)
  • 40 gm Cocoa powder
  • Pinch of salt
  • 70 g Almond butter
  • 20 ml Maple syrup
  • 30 ml Coconut oil

Optional -

  • 100 gm Dark chocolate
  • 5 ml Coconut oil
  • Sea salt flakes

Instructions
 

  • In a mixing bowl we add the oat flour, cocoa powder and a tiny pinch of salt until combined. Add the maple syrup, almond butter, coconut oil and vanilla. Stir together until it forms a dough.
  • Roll the dough between two sheets of baking paper and a rolling pin. I like these bites a little thick so make sure the dough is 1/2 inch thick. Using a heart shaped cookie cutter cut out the dough and place the heart pieces on a plate. Scrunch up the leftover dough and roll again, cut out the hearts and set aside. Repeat the process until there is no dough left. They are yummy and the next step is optional but I would recommend it.
  • Melt the dark chocolate in the microwave in 10 second intervals until smooth. Add the coconut oil and stir together. Let it cool down a little before coating the brownie bites. Dunk each piece in the melted dark chocolate and using a fork let the excess chocolate drip off. Sprinkle over a little flakey sea salt.
  • Once they are coated let them set on a sheet of baking paper in the fridge for a couple of minutes. Serve with a glass of milk.

Notes

  • You don't have to toast the oat flour ahead of time but many people don't like consuming raw oats hence toasting the flour is a good option.
  • Don’t roll the dough too thin or else it will break up when coating it in dark chocolate.
