Bracha on “natural” bars.

Question:

Ingredients
1 can chickpeas or white beans (250g after draining)
2 tsp pure vanilla extract
scant 1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp baking soda
2 tbsp nut butter or allergy-friendly sub
2 tbsp coconut oil or additional nut butter
1/2 cup pure maple syrup, agave, or honey
1 1/2 cups rolled or quick oats or flaxmeal
1/4 cup chocolate chips, or more if desired
chocolate coating, listed below
Blend all ingredients except chocolate chips and blend until very smooth.Stir in the chocolate chips. Smooth into the prepared pan. Freeze.
Once pan is chilled (3-4 hours) melt 1/2 cup chocolate chips with 2 tsp oil to form a thin sauce Spread over the bars, then re-freeze to set the chocolate. Cut into bars.

Answer:

If you use flaxmeal it is shehakol, but if you use oats it is a problem. One one hand because they are not cooked the brocho is hoadomo but on the other hand since they are all stuck together the brocho is mezonos. The best solution would be to take two other food items a mezonos and adomo and make two separate brochos on them first. If you decide to make only hoadomo on the health bar you have on whom to rely.
