No Bake Chocolate Oatmeal Bars–Gluten/Dairy Free

These are amazing! They taste like candy bars! A batch never lasts more than two days in our house!

  • 1 cup natural nut butter….I like to use almond.
  • 1/2 cup honey ….I use local….raw when I can find it
  • 1/2 cup coconut oil
  • 2 cups old fashioned oats
  • 1 cup shredded coconut, unsweetened
  • 1/2 cup chopped nuts, raisins, or dried cranberries. Cherries are also really yummy.
  • 1 1/2 cups dark chocolate chips (or regular semi-sweet chocolate chips, if you prefer) I use dairy free.
  • 2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Melt the peanut butter, honey, and coconut oil over medium-low heat in the microwave for about a minute in a large microwave safe bowl.

Add chocolate chips and microwave for thirty second. Stir well.

Add in the oats, shredded coconut, nuts/raisins, and vanilla. Stir together until the chocolate is completely melted.

Pour into a greased 9×13 pan and cool in the fridge. If you’d like thicker bars, you can pour the mixture into a smaller pan.

When the mixture is hardened, cut into bars and eat. Store in the refrigerator or freezer.
