Looking for a quick and delicious sweet treat? These No-Bake Chocolate Oat Bars are the perfect solution! They’re easy to make, require no baking, and are packed with rich chocolatey goodness. Let’s get started!
Ingredients:
- 1 cup (225g) unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup (120ml) honey or maple syrup
- 1/2 cup (100g) brown sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 3 cups (270g) rolled oats
- 1 cup (90g) shredded coconut (optional)
- 1 1/2 cups (270g) chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup (120ml) peanut butter or almond butter
Instructions:
- Prepare the Pan: Line an 8×8 inch (20×20 cm) baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
- Make the Oat Mixture: In a saucepan, melt the butter, honey, and brown sugar over medium heat. Stir until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is smooth. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
- Combine with Oats: Add the rolled oats and shredded coconut (if using) to the saucepan. Mix until everything is well coated.
- Layer the Base: Press half of the oat mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan.
- Make the Chocolate Layer: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips and peanut butter together in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Pour this chocolate mixture over the oat base and spread evenly.
- Add the Top Layer: Crumble the remaining oat mixture over the chocolate layer and gently press it down.
- Chill: Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until the bars are set.
- Slice and Serve: Lift the bars out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Cut into squares and enjoy!
Tips:
- Store these bars in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
- Customize with your favorite add-ins like nuts, dried fruit, or a sprinkle of sea salt on top!
