No Oven Required!
Chewy oat treats are big in our house, especially when it’s a no-bake dessert. No bake chocolate oat bars are easy to make and taste more like a chocolate granola bar than a bar dessert. And my kids LOVE them! They’re simple and full of chewy oats similar to our Almond Toffee Bars, Oatmeal Pie, or Banana Oatmeal Cookies. Not only are these perfect for summer, but they’re great all year long. Get the feel of a delicious baked chocolate and oat treat without actually having to bake them!
Ingredients
PREP TIME: 12 minutes CHILL TIME: 2 hours
1 cup butter – salted butter helps balance the sweetness, but unsalted butter can also be used. ½ cup brown sugar, packed – use light brown sugar or dark brown sugar. 1 teaspoon vanilla extract – many people also like to add 1-2 teaspoons of cinnamon along with the vanilla for even more flavor. 3 cups quick cooking oats – I prefer quick oats, but old-fashioned oats can also be used, be sure to cook them over low heat for an extra 1-2 minutes to help soften them. 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips – milk or dark chocolate chips also works. ½ cup creamy peanut butter – for the best result, use regular peanut butter like Skippy or Jif. Natural peanut butter, almond butter, cashew butter, sunflower seed butter, and other nut and seed butter can also be used. chocolate chips, for drizzle – I like to reserve 2-3 tablespoons from the chocolate peanut butter mixture to drizzle on top, but you can also melt more. optional toppings – Caramel Sauce drizzle, butterscotch chips, mini M&M’s, crunched pretzels, or flaky sea salt.
