Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup creamy or natural peanut butter
  • 1/3 cup honey or maple syrup
  • 2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Optional Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons chia seeds or flaxseeds

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Binding Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter and honey or maple syrup. Warm slightly in the microwave or on the stovetop just until smooth and easy to blend, ensuring the mixture will hold the bars together well.
  2. Add the Dry Ingredients: Once the peanut butter mixture is smooth, stir in the oats, mini chocolate chips, vanilla extract, a pinch of salt, and optional chia or flaxseeds. Mix until everything is evenly incorporated.
  3. Press into the Pan: Line a square baking dish with parchment paper. Transfer the mixture into the dish, then press down firmly with a spatula or your hands to create an even, compact layer. This step is important to prevent the bars from falling apart.
  4. Chill and Set: Place the pan in the refrigerator for at least an hour to allow the bars to firm up. Cooling helps the peanut butter and sweetener bind the oats properly, creating perfect bars.
  5. Cut and Serve: After chilling, remove the bars from the dish using the parchment paper edges. Cut into squares or rectangles, then enjoy your No-Bake Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Breakfast Bars immediately or store for later.

Notes

  • Use fresh, quality peanut butter and chocolate chips for the best flavor.
  • Press the mixture firmly into the pan to ensure bars hold together well.
  • Taste the mixture before chilling and adjust sweetness if desired.
  • Do not skip the refrigeration step; it is key for proper texture.
  • Use a sharp knife for clean edges and to prevent crumbling when slicing.
