Decoration Tips:

Ingredients:
- 1 cup oat flour
- 2/3 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips (divided into 1/2 cup and 1 cup)
- 1/3 cup non-dairy milk
Instructions:
- Line a baking pan with wax paper to prevent sticking.
- In a mixing bowl, combine oat flour and creamy peanut butter. Mix until well combined.
- Fold in 1/2 cup of chocolate chips into the dough.
- Press the cookie dough evenly into the prepared pan, creating a smooth, flat layer.
- In a small saucepan or microwave-safe bowl, heat the non-dairy milk until hot but not boiling. Add 1 cup of chocolate chips and stir until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
- Pour the melted chocolate ganache over the cookie dough layer, spreading it evenly to cover.
- Place the pan in the freezer and let the ganache set until firm, about 1-2 hours.
- Once set, remove from the freezer, lift out the entire square using the wax paper, and cut into desired-sized squares.
