Add 120 g of nut butter or seed butter of choice (almond butter used in the video).

Add 2 tablespoons of coconut oil to the mixture.

Pour in 100 ml of maple syrup as a sweetener.

Add 1 tablespoon of chia seeds.

Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and a pinch of salt.

Mix all the ingredients together until the oat flakes are coated with the nut butter and sweetener.

Prepare a brownie size tray (approximately 10 in by 6 in or 20 cm by 12 cm) lined with baking parchment.

Pour the mixture into the prepared tray and use a silicone spatula to compress it down firmly.

Melt 200 g of dark chocolate and pour it over the compressed mixture, smoothing it out with the back of a spoon.

Sprinkle a pinch of sea salt on top of the chocolate layer.

Place the tray in the freezer for about 15 minutes to set the bars.

Once set, remove from the tray and cut into desired portions.
