| GF NO BAKE OAT FUDGE BARS | low carb & plant-based
Easy, two layer, no bake oat fudge bars with protein! The simple oat and peanut butter base is the perfect vessel for the rich chocolate ganache top. Great paired with coffee, as an afternoon pick me up, or post dinner dessert.
Recipe notes:
If you want a lower calorie treat you can either slice the bar into 30 instead of 15 to cut the serving size/macros in half or you can use 40g less chocolate for the ganache. I like the ganache nice and thick which is why I've used three bars, but do whats best for you!
Note: if you do decide to use less chocolate make sure you also use less soy milk in the ganache. Start with 2-3 tbsp and add more if needed.
Don't use/have protein powder? You can simply substitute with more oat flour. Start with replacing the 1 cup protein with only 1/2 cup extra oat flour and test the texture from there.

Ingredients:
1 cup vanilla protein powder - 15% off affiliate discount code: EVANNRYAN
1 cup peanut butter (or preferred nut/seed butter)
1/2 cup oat flour
1/2 cup soy milk (or preferred dairy free milk)
1/3 cup maple syrup
3 Zazubean Pomegranate Hazelnut Sassy Chocolate Bars (270g)
1/4 cup soy milk (or prefferred dairy free milk)
Recipe:
To a mixing bowl add: protein powder, peanut butter, oat flour, 1/2 cup soy milk, and maple syrup. Mix well, forming a dough.
Line a loaf pan or small square pan with parchment paper.
Press the dough into the prepared pan. Set aside.
Add Zazubean Sassy Bars and 1/4 cup soy milk to a bowl to melt. You can do this over a double broiler or gently in the microwave.
*Whichever method make sure to stir the chocolate every 10-15 seconds so it doesn't burn.
Once you have a nice ganache texture pour the chocolate over the oat bar.
Spread evenly from edge to edge.
Top with sea salt if desired.
Place bars in the freezer for 30 minutes to firm.
Remove from the freezer and slice into 15 squares.
For best texture keep bars in the fridge until ready to eat.
Alternatively keep in the freezer and set each serving on the counter for 10 minutes prior to eating.
Enjoy!
