Equipment

  • 1 Blender Optional - to turn large flake oats into oat flour
  • 1 12-cup muffin pan
  • 12 muffin liners

Ingredients
  

BASE OAT LAYER

  • 1 cup oat flour never buy oat flour, and make it yourself by grinding some large flake oats in a blender!
  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 1/4 cup collagen powder optional but provides 20g protein
  • 1/4 TSP salt
  • 2 TBSP pure maple syrup
  • 1 TBSP avocado oil or melted coconut oil
  • 2-4 TBSP milk of choice
  • 6 Medjool dates
  • 1/4 cup natural peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup dark chocolate ideally 70% or higher
  • 1 tbsp avocado or coconut oil

Optional Toppings

  • 3 TBSP peanuts, halved Optional for garnish
  • Maldon flakey sea salt

Instructions

  • Add the oat flour, almond flour, collagen, salt, maple syrup, avocado oil, and mix well. Add 1 TBSP of milk at a time to get the right consistency. Your dough should be sticky enough to hold its shape but not too wet. If you find it's too wet, you can always add a bit more flour
  • Transfer your first layer evenly amongst 12 slots silicone muffin moulds or a 12 cup muffin tray with muffin liners. Add the oat flour dough as your first layer, gently patting it into the muffin liners
  • For the next layer, split your Medjool date in half, remove the pit, and flatten each half of the date as much as possible, using your fingers. You want the date to be roughly the same width as your muffin liner. Place the date over the first layer
  • For your next later, add about 1 teaspoon worth of natural peanut butter
  • For your final layer, melt the dark chocolate with 1 tablespoon of either avocado or coconut oil. Mix well and drizzle over the peanut butter later
  • Optional to top with some crushed or halved peanuts and a sprinkle of Maldon sea salt
  • Pop in the freezer, ideally overnight if you can wait that long, and try not to eat the whole tray in one sitting
