Shelf life of this recipe at room temperature?
In the fridge: About 2 weeks in an airtight container. This keeps them firm and fresh, especially because of the chocolate and coconut oil content.
At room temperature: About 3–4 days in a cool, dry place in an airtight container. If your kitchen is warm (above ~22°C / 72°F), the bars may soften or the chocolate layer may become oily, so refrigeration is recommended.
can you substitute cocoa powder for chocolate morsels? and if so what would the ratio comparison be?
I haven’t tested this swap myself, so I can’t say the exact quantities, but in general, you can replace the chocolate with cocoa powder by adjusting a few things. Try using about 1/2 cup cocoa powder, add a bit more coconut oil and maple syrup, and reduce the oats to around 2-2½ cups. The texture will be different—less creamy—but it should still work!
what are the other alternative of peanut butter?
You can use any nut butter or seed butter.
Can I use honey instead of maple syrup and chunky peanut butter instead of smooth
Yes, you can.
Can I use chunky peanut butter and use honey instead of maple syrup?
Whipped this up quickly, only had 62 % chocolate, reduced the maple to 1/4, CANT wait to use as energy bar. Thanks
