🌟 Method 🌟
1. Prepare the Cookie Base:
In a mixing bowl, combine the oat flour, melted coconut oil, maple syrup, and a pinch of salt. Mix until a dough forms. Line a small baking dish with parchment paper, then press the dough evenly into the bottom of the dish. Bake at 180°C (350°F) for 12 minutes, or until lightly golden. Let it cool completely.
2. Make the Peanut Caramel:
In another bowl, mix the peanut butter and maple syrup until smooth and well combined. Once the cookie base has cooled, spread the peanut caramel evenly over the top.
3. Add the Chocolate Topping:
Melt the dark chocolate with the coconut oil in a double boiler or in the microwave, stirring until smooth. Pour the chocolate mixture over the peanut caramel layer, spreading it evenly. Place the dish in the refrigerator and let it chill until the chocolate is fully hardened.
4. Slice and Serve:
Once the chocolate has set, remove the slice from the baking dish and cut it into squares or bars. Enjoy your delicious, healthy caramel slice as a sweet treat or snack!
