1 can (15.5 0z) great northern beans
3/4 cup oats, dry
1/3 cup sugar
1 tbsp maple syrup
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp maple extract
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
2 tbsp white chocolate chips
2 tbsp butterscotch chips
1 tsp coconut oil (for the drizzle)
2 tbsp white chocolate chips (for the drizzle)
2 tbsp butterscotch chips (for the drizzle)
Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees. Spray an 8×8 pan with cooking spray
In a food processor, process the oats into a powder. Then, add the beans and blend until they are completely pureed into a smooth consistency. The mixture will be thick
Add the sugar, maple syrup, vanilla extract, maple extract, baking powder and salt to the pureed beans and oats and mix until all ingredients are combined and the mixture is a smooth puree.
Once the batter is well combined, add 2 tbsp white chocolate chips and 2 tbsp butterscotch chips to the mixture. Pulse just enough to allow the chips to be evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread until evenly distributed.
Bake in the oven for ~25-30 minutes. Make sure not to overcook.
Gently lift the parchment paper out of the pan and set on the counter or a cooling rack. Do not cut the bars until they are completely cool.
Put the remaining 1 tbsp of white chocolate chips in a small bowl with ½ tsp of coconut oil, and the 1 tbsp butterscotch chips in a separate bowl with the other ½ tsp coconut oil. Melt in microwave, then drizzle over the cooked bars.
Cut into 9 even bars, then store in the refrigerator or the freezer until ready-to-eat.
