Peanut Butter Bars

For bars:

2 Tbsp flax seeds

3/4 cup vegan butter

1/2 cup raw sugar

1 cup brown sugar

1/2 tsp vanilla

1/2 cup peanut butter

3/4 Tbsp baking soda

1/2 tsp salt

1 1/2 cup flour

2 cups oats

For Frosting:

1/4 cup vegan butter

2 Tbsp cocoa

1/4 cup plant-based milk

2 1/2 cup powdered sugar

2 tsp vanilla

Combine the flax seeds with 6 Tbsp water. If using whole flax seeds, use an immersion blender until the mixture is gooey. If using ground flax seeds, whisk with a fork and let sit for five minutes.

In a bowl, combine butter, sugar, brown sugar, and mix. Add flax mixture, vanilla, and peanut butter, and mix.

In a separate bowl, combine baking soda, salt, flour, and oats. Mix, then add to the other mixture and combine.

Bake at 350 for 17-21 minutes.

When cool, add a thin layer of peanut butter over the bars.

Make frosting by heating butter, cocoa, and plant-based milk in a saucepan. Bring to boil and stir for 2 minutes. Remove from heat and add powdered sugar and vanilla. Mix and spread over bars. Chocolate will thicken as it cools.
