Notes
- If you enjoyed this recipe, please come back and give it a rating. I ❤️ hearing from you!
- Line your 7 by 7 baking pan with parchment paper before pressing the mixture into it. This will make it easier to remove the bars later.
- Use your hands or the back of a spoon to press the mixture evenly towards the sides of the pan to ensure uniform thickness.
- Microwave the vegan chocolate chips in short 15-second increments, stirring in between each interval, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth. Be careful not to overheat the chocolate, as it can scorch.
- Once melted, drizzle the chocolate evenly over the pressed mixture in the baking pan. You can use a spoon or a piping bag to control the chocolate drizzle.
- Store the energy bars covered in the freezer for up to 1 month for longer shelf life. Alternatively, you can store them in the fridge for about 1 week. Thaw frozen bars at room temperature until defrosted before serving.
