Make these simple, chewy bars that require no oven time. They combine oats, peanut butter, and chocolate for a quick snack or dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil

Instructions

  1. Line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on two sides for easy removal.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, peanut butter, melted butter, powdered sugar, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Mix until everything is fully incorporated and the mixture is uniform.
  3. Press the oat mixture firmly and evenly into the prepared pan. Use the bottom of a glass or measuring cup to compact it well.
  4. In a small, microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until the chocolate is smooth and completely melted.
  5. Pour the melted chocolate mixture over the oat base. Spread it evenly across the top layer.
  6. Refrigerate the bars for at least 2 hours, or until the chocolate topping is firm.
  7. Use the parchment paper overhang to lift the bars from the pan. Cut into 16 squares.

Notes

  • For firmer bars, chill them for an additional hour before slicing.
  • You can substitute almond butter or sunflower seed butter for peanut butter.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
