I am always hankering for a new chocolate recipe and this one hits all the marks for me. These gluten free vegan chocolate oatmeal bars are decadent and hearty at the same time. Chewy and just lightly sweet, they are a perfect afternoon snack or after dinner dessert. My favorite way to eat them is when they are still warm with a generous scoop of vanilla nice cream.

Batter

2 cups organic rolled oats

Spread chocolate mixture on top of the batter in the brownie pan.
Scoop globs of the remaining oat batter onto the top of the chocolate layer spacing them a little apart.
Using a butter knife or the back of a spoon lightly spread the globs around to mostly cover the chocolate layer.
