4 Ingredient No Bake Chocolate Peanut Butter Granola Bars

Author Sonja

Ingredients

  • 4 cups old fashioned oats gluten-free if needed
  • 1 cup natural peanut butter
  • 3/4 cup + 2 T honey use agave for vegan
  • 1/4 cup chocolate chips use dairy-free if needed
  • 1/2 cup peanuts optional

Instructions

  1. Grease the bottom and sides 9x13 pan well.
  2. On the stove top heat peanut butter and all honey on medium heat in a pan, stirring until thoroughly warmed, bubbling just a bit, and thoroughly combined. You don't need to boil this, though. The peanut butter mixture just needs to be hot enough to melt the chocolate chips. Alternatively, you can microwave the peanut butter and honey in a glass bowl, stirring every 30 seconds until combined.
  3. Place oats and chocolate chips (and peanuts) in a large bowl, and pour the heated peanut butter honey mixture stirring until chocolate chips are melted and all ingredients are combined VERY well in a bowl.
  4. Mash the granola bars into the pan well using a potato masher, spatula or your hands. This is the most important step!! If you don't mash it, they won't hold together well.
  5. Cool for 10 minutes, and cut into bars.
  6. Store in a cool dry place for up to a month.
