Ingredients:
- Base:
- 100g unsalted butter
- 45g light brown sugar
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 tbsp maple syrup or brown rice malt syrup
- 130g rolled oats
- 25g caramelized white chocolate protein powder
- Filling:
- 100g white chocolate
- 50g Biscoff spread (or your favorite nut butter)
- 2 tbsp (30ml) canned coconut milk
Instructions:
- Prepare Your Pan: Line a loaf tin with parchment paper for easy removal.
- Create the Oat Base: In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter and brown sugar together, stirring until the mixture starts to bubble gently. Remove from heat, then stir in the vanilla extract, syrup, and a pinch of salt. Fold in the oats and protein powder until well combined. Press half of this oat mixture into the bottom of your prepared tin, creating an even layer.
- Make the Filling: Combine white chocolate, Biscoff spread, and coconut milk in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 20-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth and fully melted. Alternatively, use a double boiler to melt these ingredients together, ensuring not to overheat.
- Assemble: Pour the melted chocolate mixture over the oat base. Gently sprinkle the remaining oat mixture over the top, pressing lightly.
- Chill and Serve: Refrigerate the bars for 2-3 hours or until set. Cut into squares and serve. Store any leftovers in a sealed container in the fridge.
