Chocolate Hazelnut Oat Bars (No-Bake)

Simple, chewy, chocolatey bars made with sprouted oats and cacao — no baking, no layering, no nut butter required.

Ingredients (Makes 8–10 bars):

• 100g Sun & Seed Sprouted & Raw Organic Rolled Naked Oats

• 10g cacao powder (not raw)

• 2 tbsp maple syrup or date syrup

• 1 tbsp Sun & Seed Hazelnut Protein Powder (for richness and flavour)

• 2–3 tbsp warm water (adjust as needed for texture)

• Pinch of sea salt

Method:

1. Combine dry ingredients:
   In a bowl, mix the sprouted oats, cacao powder, hazelnut protein, and salt.

2. Add wet ingredients:
   Pour in the maple syrup and warm water gradually. Stir well until the mixture holds together but isn’t too wet. Add a little more water if needed.

3. Press into a tray:
   Line a small square dish (approx. 15x15cm) with parchment paper. Press the mixture evenly and firmly into the bottom.

4. Chill:
   Refrigerate for 1 hour, or until firm.

5. Slice and enjoy:
   Cut into squares or bars. Store in the fridge for up to 5 days.

Optional Add-Ins:

• Stir in chopped dark chocolate or sunflower seeds for texture

• Add orange zest for a twist
