The chocolate and crunchy oats combo is one that never gets old. Then throw some creamy nut butter into the mix and it’s kind of a big deal! These no-bake chocolate coated oat bars resemble a chocolate rice krispie treat but better.

There are few things I enjoy more than a cold treat on a hot summer day. Bonus points if you don’t have to turn on the oven ????. These chocolate oat bars are just that with only 4 (yes, four!!) ingredients! The base has an incredible mixture of oats, creamy nut butter, and sweet honey. Then we top it all off with a luscious layer of melted dark chocolate. They're basically irresistible.

Recipe modifications:

  • I used sprouted oats as they provide some additional nutritional value. However, any style rolled oats (rolled, sprouted, gluten-free, whatever fits your fancy) will work with the recipe.
  • You can use any kind of nut butter, cashew butter is just my personal favorite ????. Others I recommend are almond butter, peanut butter, or a mixed nut butter.
  • Honey and oats just go together which is why I used it in this recipe. However, if you’re vegan or prefer an alternative sweetener, I highly recommend pure maple syrup, date syrup, or coconut nectar as a replacement.
  • For the chocolate topping, I used vegan and paleo-friendly dark chocolate morsels. The Enjoy Life brand is one of my favorites but feel free to use whichever kind of chocolate you have on hand!

Description

Chocolate, nut butter, and oats OH MY!  These no-bake bars have a crunchy base and topped with a thick layer of dark chocolate on top.  They’re super simple & easy and make the ultimate health-conscious treat!


Scale

Ingredients

  • 2 cups rolled oats (I used sprouted)

  • 1 cup cashew butter (or nut butter of choice)

  • ⅓ cup honey (or sweetener of choice like maple syrup or coconut nectar)

  • 1 ½ cup dark chocolate chips (any kind of chocolate will work too)


Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, add in the oats, cashew butter, and honey and mix until the oats are well coated

  2. Line an 8X8 pan with parchment paper and spoon in the oat mixture, pressing down hard to pack it down tight (especially in the corners) and set aside while you prepare the chocolate

  3. Melt chocolate (I use the double-boiler method and place chocolate in a small pot and stack it on top of a larger pot with simmering water and stir until melted)

  4. Pour chocolate over top of oats and place in fridge to set (you can also keep it out on the counter to set, it just may take a little longer)

  5. Take bars out of fridge just before the chocolate is set (about 15 mins) and cut into squares (note: it’s important to cut them before chocolate is truly set or they will be difficult to cut)

  6. Store bars in fridge and enjoy for up to 10 days
