Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit.

  2. Cut two strips of parchment paper to fit the interior of an 8 to 9-inch square baker, criss-cross them at the bottom, and fold the ends up the sides of the baker.

  3. Blend 1 and ¾ cups oats in a blender or food processor until finely ground to make oat flour.

  4. Arrange the nuts in a single layer on a small, rimmed baking sheet and bake for 7 to 10 minutes until fragrant. If using large nuts like pecans, chop them into small pieces.

  5. In a medium-sized pot, combine the nut butter, chocolate chips, sweetener, butter, salt, and cinnamon. Warm the pot over medium heat, stirring often, until the mixture is melted throughout. Remove from heat.

  6. Stir in the vanilla extract, followed by the oat flour and chopped pecans.

  7. Carefully pour the fudge mixture into the lined square baker and use the back of a sturdy mixing spoon to spread it evenly.

  8. Cover the bottom of a heavy-bottomed drinking glass or mason jar with parchment paper and press it down on the fudge repeatedly to pack it evenly. Sprinkle flaky sea salt on top if desired.

  9. Freeze the fudge for 30 to 45 minutes until firm to the touch and no longer shiny in the middle. Alternatively, refrigerate for a couple of hours or longer.

  10. Use
