Part 4/5:
While your bars are baking, prepare the luscious chocolate topping. Melt 200 g of dark chocolate using a water bath method. This technique provides a gentle heat, preserving the chocolate’s smooth texture. Once melted, add 1.5 tablespoons of olive oil to the chocolate and mix until well combined.
When the oatmeal bars are done baking, allow them to cool on a wire rack. Once cooled, pour the melted chocolate over the top of the bars, creating a rich and glossy finish. For a delightful crunch and added nutrition, decorate the chocolate with a tablespoon of pumpkin seeds before placing it into the refrigerator.
Finishing Touches and Enjoying
Let the bars refrigerate until the chocolate is completely set. Once set, cut them into pieces to create bite-sized portions.
