How to Prepare No-Bake Double Chocolate Brownie Bars [Vegan, Gluten-Free]

  1. Line a 9x5 inch loaf pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a food processor, blend the rolled oats until fine like a flour, unless using oat flour. Add in the rest of the ingredients for the Brownie Crust Layer and process until well combined and mixture clumps together in one ball. Transfer the crust mixture to a lined loaf pan and press down until even. Set aside.
  3. Now add all ingredients for the Chocolate Fudge Layer into the food processor. Blend until smooth and creamy. Pour mixture over the crust, scraping down the sides with a spatula.
  4. Sprinkle vegan chocolate chips on top.
  5. Freeze for about 4 hours until firm. Cut into pieces and freeze again for 20-30 minutes to firm up more and prevent melting - if you can wait that long!
  6. Store leftovers in the freezer, covered.
