Throw all dry ingredients into food processor, or mixing bowl if you don't mind a more chunky batter.
Slowly pour in wet ingredients. I started with the maple syrup and used the hot water to get all the remnants of maple syrup out of the measuring cup.
Mix until a dough forms and there are no dry oats left.
Press into the baking dish.
Heat coconut oil and blend with the raw cacao powder. Pour onto the flattened dough.
Let the bars cool in the fridge for at least 30 minutes, or until the chocolate topping has hardened.
Once hardened, cut into square and enjoy!
Store these in the fridge or freezer to prevent the chocolate topping from melting.
Notes
*add nuts or seeds and decrease the amount of coconut *use goji berries instead of freeze dried raspberries *use different flavors of protein to spice up the recipe *use different extract flavors for endless combinations *sub flaxseed for hemp seeds
