Equipment

  • Baking Dish (8x8 inch / 20x20 cm)
  • Parchment Paper
  • Large mixing bowl
  • Medium Mixing Bowl
  • Whisk
  • Wire Rack

Ingredients
  

  • 1/4 cup peanut butter melted (or nut butter of your choice)
  • 3/4 cup pure canned mango puree (unsweetened)
  • 1/2 cup pure maple syrup
  • 3 tablespoons brown sugar or coconut sugar
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of your choice)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom (optional, for a subtle tropical twist)
  • Pinch sea salt
  • 2 cups gluten-free rolled oats (quick or old-fashioned)
  • 1/2 cup oat flour blended from gluten-free rolled oats
  • 1/3 cup dark chocolate chips (plus extra for sprinkling on top)

Instructions
 

  • 1. Prepare Oven & Dish: Get your oven ready by preheating it to 350°F (175°C). Then, line an 8x8 inch (20x20 cm) baking dish with parchment paper, allowing some to hang over the sides for easy removal later.
  • 2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted peanut butter, mango puree, pure maple syrup, brown sugar (or coconut sugar), and almond milk. Whisk everything together until you have a smooth, well-blended mixture.
  • 3. Combine Dry Ingredients: Grab a separate medium bowl and whisk together the baking powder, ground cinnamon, ground cardamom (if you're using it), sea salt, the 2 cups of gluten-free rolled oats, and the ½ cup of blended oat flour. Make sure they're all mixed evenly.
  • 4. Fold Everything Together: Gently add the dry oat mixture into your wet ingredients, stirring until everything is just combined. Now, fold in the â…“ cup of dark chocolate chips.
  • 5. Bake to Golden Perfection: Pour the batter into your prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly. For an extra touch, sprinkle a few more chocolate chips on top. Bake for 32 to 36 minutes, or until the edges look golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean.
  • 6. Cool & Enjoy: Let the bars cool completely in the dish on a wire rack. Once cool, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the entire slab out. Slice into 16 delicious squares. These healthy, summery bars are perfect as a snack or a light breakfast!
