No-Bake Chocolate Peanut Butter Oat Bars
By Daily SimmerThese simple, no-bake chocolate oat bars come together entirely in one pot without any heating required. Soft peanut butter and maple syrup bind the cocoa and oats before the mixture sets firmly in the refrigerator.

Contains Peanuts
Directions
- Mark step 1 done
Line a 20 cm square baking dish with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal later.
- Mark step 2 done
In a large pot, combine the creamy peanut butter (250g), maple syrup (1dl), vanilla extract (5ml), and salt (1g). Stir vigorously until the wet ingredients are smooth and fully integrated.
- Mark step 3 done
Add the cocoa powder (35g) and rolled oats (270g) to the wet mixture in the pot. Fold and mix thoroughly until the rolled oats (270g) are completely and evenly coated.
- Mark step 4 done
Transfer the rolled oats (270g) mixture from the pot into the prepared baking dish. Press it down firmly and evenly using a spatula or your hands to ensure a solid base.
- Mark step 5 done
Place the dish in the refrigerator to chill for at least 2 hours, or until the mixture is completely firm to the touch.
- Mark step 6 done
Use the parchment paper overhang to lift the firm slab out of the baking dish. Cut the slab into a 4-by-4 grid to make 16 even bars.
- Mark step 7 done
Store the cut bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 7 days. If freezing, arrange them in shallow containers separated by parchment paper and freeze for up to 3 months.
