Oat Chocolate Energy Bars
Prepare homemade energy bars in no time, perfect for a quick snack or a boost of energy. This recipe combines the crunchy texture of oat flakes with the richness of dark chocolate and the smoothness of peanut butter. A healthy, tasty and easily customizable snack. Simply lightly toast the oat flakes for more flavor, then prepare a binding caramel with peanut butter, honey and butter. Coat the flakes with this caramel, add chocolate chips, then press everything into a mold. After a stint in the refrigerator, all you have to do is cut regular bars. These bars keep for a week in the fridge and freeze perfectly. You can also add dried fruits, nuts or coconut for variety. With just a few ingredients and a little patience during resting time, you'll get homemade energy bars that rival store-bought ones. Don't hesitate to take them with you everywhere for a healthy and gourmet snack.
