Instructions

Lightly grease a 6-inch square pan with butter. This will prevent the squares from sticking.
Toast the rolled oats in a dry pan over medium heat for about 5 minutes until fragrant. This enhances their nutty flavor and adds a pleasant crunch. Set aside to cool.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chopped dark chocolate and peanut butter.
Microwave for 1 minute, then stir until smooth. If needed, microwave in 15-second intervals, stirring after each, until the chocolate is completely melted and combined with the peanut butter.
Add the toasted oats and sweetened condensed milk to the chocolate mixture. Stir until everything is well combined.
Microwave for 1 minute, then stir vigorously until the mixture is evenly heated and slightly thickened.
Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Gently tap the pan on the counter to level the surface.
Sprinkle the chopped toasted almonds evenly over the top and press them lightly into the mixture.
Let the squares cool completely at room temperature. This allows the mixture to firm up and makes it easier to cut.
Once cooled, cut into squares and serve.

Recipe Notes

Good To Know

This breakfast is very filling; just one square will keep you full until lunchtime.
This recipe is adapted from Late Chef Tarla Dalal with slight modifications.
For extra texture and chewiness, add a handful of dried cranberries or chopped dates with the almonds.
For a less sweet version, replace half the condensed milk with unsweetened Greek yogurt.
Let the melted dark chocolate cool slightly before drizzling to prevent it from seeping into the oat layer.
To make these squares vegan, replace condensed milk with coconut cream and maple syrup, use dairy-free chocolate, and plant-based butter alternatives.

Expert Tips

For a cleaner cut, chill the oat mixture thoroughly before slicing into squares.
Lightly grease the pan with coconut oil or butter for easier removal.
Get creative with toppings! Sprinkle sea salt, chopped nuts, or a drizzle of nut butter after the chocolate sets.
