  • 2 tbsp cocoa powder
  • ½ cup cup rolled oats GF
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ⅓ cup pure maple syrup
  • 2 pkts stevia OR 2 tbsp sugar (or omit and increase maple syrup to 1/2 cup)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350 F. Combine all ingredients except chips in a good food processor, and blend until completely smooth.
  • Stir in the chips, then pour into a greased 8×8 pan. Optional: sprinkle extra chocolate chips over the top.
