Description
Delicious and easy-to-make chocolate peanut butter oat bars that are perfect for a healthy snack or dessert.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup + 2 tablespoons natural creamy peanut butter
- 1/3 cup agave syrup or pure maple syrup
- 1 & 1/3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
- 3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/3 cup natural creamy peanut butter
Instructions
- Line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper or wax paper. Set aside.
- In a medium, microwave-safe bowl add peanut butter and maple syrup and heat in microwave for 20 seconds, then whisk together. Heat another 20 seconds if the peanut butter mixture has not heated through and melted.
- Add oats. Stir and fold until thoroughly combined. Scoop oat mixture into the prepared baking pan.
- Using a rubber spatula, smooth it into an even, tightly-packed layer. Set aside.
- Microwave chocolate and peanut butter together until melted in 30-second increments. Stir and pour chocolate over the bars, spreading out evenly over bars with a rubber spatula or back of a spoon.
- Freeze for 45 minutes, or until firm. Remove from freezer and slice into bars.
Notes
- Honey can be used in place of agave syrup, but it won’t be vegan.
- Gluten-free options can be used for oats.
- Use dairy-free chocolate chips for a vegan version.
