- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons agave nectar or maple syrup
- 1/2 cup coconut oil melted
Chocolate Fudge Filling:
- 180 grams vegan dark chocolate 6 ounces
- 2 tablespoons agave nectar or maple syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/4 teaspoon instant espresso
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil Melted
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions

- In a large bowl, combine all the ingredients for the oatmeal crust and topping. Once well mixed, press 2/3 of the mixture into the base of your lined tin. Make sure to press the mixture in firmly so it doesn't crumble when you attempt to cut the final product.
- Place in the freezer for 20 minutes. Keep the remaining 1/3 of the mixture aside.
- In a microwave safe bowl, combine dark chocolate, agave, sea salt, instant espresso and melted coconut oil. Microwave in 30 second increments, stirring between each, until everything is smooth and melted. Add vanilla extract to chocolate mixture and stir to combine.
- Pour chocolate fudge mixture onto your chilled oatmeal crust, and then sprinkle the remaining Oatmeal mixture evenly on top.
- Place in freezer for 1 hour.
- Remove from the freezer and cut into squares or bars. Enjoy!
