Add oats and process more until finely ground. Add coconut flakes, cinnamon, salt and vanilla extract; process for 30 seconds.

How your dough should look after processing. Not crumbly, but not 'nut butter' consistency either. If the batter seems too crumbly, you can add a little extra peanut butter.

5.

 In a small saucepan, add chocolate chips and coconut oil; melt over low heat, whisking constantly.

6.

Pour chocolate over dough all around and tilt pan to help melted chocolate coat bars evenly.
