Chocolate Peanut Butter No-Bake Bars
No-bake chocolate peanut butter bars with a soft nutty base and glossy chocolate topping that firms up in the fridge.
Ingredients
Base
- 1 cup natural peanut butter or any nut/seed butter
- 1 cup gluten-free oat flour or almond flour
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
Topping
- 1 cup chocolate chips dairy-free if needed
- 1 tbsp coconut oil
Instructions
- Line an 8x8 inch square pan with parchment.
- Warm peanut butter and maple syrup in a small saucepan over low heat until smooth.
- Remove from heat and stir in the oat or almond flour until a thick dough forms.
- Press the mixture firmly into the pan and smooth the top.
- Melt chocolate chips and coconut oil over low heat until glossy.
- Pour melted chocolate over the base and tilt the pan to level.
- Refrigerate 2–3 hours or until firm.
