    No Bake Chocolate Oat Bars with Peanut Butter are the perfect sweet treat made with healthy ingredients. If you love easy and simple recipes, this one is perfect for you!

    No Bake Chocolate Oat Bars pressed into a 8x8 baking pan topped with chocolate chips.

    Did you eat chewy bars growing up? Me too. I was OBSESSED! It was always a good day when I got one in my lunch box at school.

    From the texture to the flavor, they are absolute perfection. However, I have always wanted to make my own version at home with cleaner ingredients.

    Which is how this recipe was created! The texture is perfection, and I think they're even better the next day after chilling in the fridge overnight.

    If you're a peanut butter and chocolate lover like myself, you're going to LOVE these!

    Ingredient Notes

    • Peanut Butter - Make sure to use a creamy natural peanut butter (or other creamy nut/seed butter) to ensure the texture comes out just right.
    • Maple Syrup - I prefer using maple syrup in this recipe because it is looser than honey. I also think the flavor complements the other ingredients perfectly.
    • Tahini - Since there is no butter or baking in this recipe, tahini is the perfect replacement to help bind the ingredients together. It also adds a delicious, nutty flavor!
    • Vanilla Extract
    • Rolled Oats - I use oats A LOT in my recipes and baking. I linked a great option for rolled oats where you can get a lot for a good price. Make sure to buy gluten free rolled oats if needed.
    • Chocolate Chips - I linked my favorite baking chocolate chips, that work well in any recipe and are also allergy friendly. I also love to use Hu Chocolate Baking Chips, they are also a huge favorite of mine to use as well as a high quality product.

    What type of Peanut Butter is the BEST to use in this recipe?

    I am a peanut butter lover to my core. It doesn't have to be in a recipe, all I need is a spoon and a jar. BUT, for making this recipe, there is a specific type of peanut butter that works best.

    Natural creamy peanut butter is the ideal type of peanut butter to use. The texture is more loose than conventional peanut butter, helping bind the ingredients together.

    A creamy peanut butter works better than crunchy so that the ingredients come together easily when making. Using a crunchy peanut butter may alter the final result.

    How to Make No Bake Chocolate Oat Bars

    1. Add the rolled oats to a large mixing bowl
    2. Along with the maple syrup, tahini, peanut butter, vanilla extra and chocolate chips
    3. Mix until fully combined
    4. Line an 8x8 square pan with parchment paper
    5. Press the batter into the pan until flat and spread in an even layer
    6. Let sit in the fridge for 1-2 hours until firm
    7. Cut the bars and enjoy!

    i have never met anyone who didn’t like pop tart i have never met anyone who didn’t like pop tarts growing up, have you?

let me introduce you to my adult version of this childhood favorite. i use lantanafoods Dark Chocolate Hummus as the filling and it was a dream come true 🍫 it adds just the right amount of sweetness, taking me right back to my childhood but without the sugar hangover 🤪

HOW TO MAKE ⬇️ 
1. cut two rectangles out of pre-made pie dough
2. add about 2 tbsp of hummus in the center and spread it out a little without going to the edges
3. press along the four sides with a fork
4. bake in the oven at 425 degrees F for 10-12 minutes or until the dough is golden and fully baked through
5. cool slightly and enjoy!
