Steps

1. 1

   Begin by preheating the oven to 350°F. Using a food processor, pulse together oats, whole wheat flour, coconut oil, agave, cocoa powder, salt, and cinnamon until the oats are coarsely ground and the mixture resembles damp sand.

2. 2

   Press the crust firmly into the bottom and sides of the tart pan. Bake until the crust turns a beautiful golden brown color and releases a toasty aroma, which should take about 20–25 minutes. Once baked, transfer the tart pan to a wire rack and allow it to cool down completely.

3. 3

   In a food processor, dissolve espresso powder in 3/4 cup of hot water. Allow the mixture to sit for 5 minutes after adding cocoa. Introduce melted chocolate, agave syrup, vanilla extract, 2/3 cup of coconut oil, and 2/3 teaspoon of kosher salt. Process the ingredients until a velvety and dense consistency is achieved, approximately for 30 seconds.
