Ingredients
Cookie Base
- 1 2/3 cups (172g) homemade oat flour (can substitute with superfine almond flour)
- 1/4 cup (2fl oz/59ml) melted coconut oil
- 1/4 cup (2fl oz/59ml) maple syrup
Topping
- 3/4 cup (130g) white chocolate chips or chopped white chocolate
- Optional: sprinkles for decoration
Instructions
- Make the Cookie Dough: In a medium bowl, stir together the oat flour, melted coconut oil, and maple syrup until a pliable and slightly tacky dough forms. It should hold together easily when pressed. If the dough is too sticky, gradually add oat flour by tablespoons until firm. If too dry or crumbly, add small amounts of maple syrup or melted coconut oil to bind.
- Shape the Cookie Layer: Line a small baking sheet with parchment paper. Press and spread the dough into a rough rectangle about 9 x 7 inches and 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick.
- Melt the White Chocolate: Place white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl and heat in 20-second intervals, stirring after each until smooth and melted. If the chocolate is too thick, stir in about 1 teaspoon of melted coconut oil to thin it.
- Spread the Chocolate Topping: Using an offset spatula, spread the melted white chocolate evenly over the cookie base. Optionally add sprinkles.
- Set the Bark: Refrigerate the tray for 30–60 minutes until both cookie base and chocolate topping are firm. For quicker setting, place in the freezer for 15–20 minutes.
- Break into Pieces and Store: Lift the bark off the parchment in one piece and break or cut into smaller pieces. Best enjoyed soon after refrigeration. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for a few days or freeze for longer storage.
Notes
- Oat flour can be homemade by grinding rolled oats until superfine or substituted with superfine almond flour for a different texture and flavor.
- If melted white chocolate is too thick to spread, add a small amount of melted coconut oil to thin it out.
- The bark softens if left at room temperature in warm conditions, so keep refrigerated until serving.
- Sprinkles are optional, and you can customize with your favorite toppings.
- For faster firming, freezing for 15–20 minutes is recommended.
