Undoubtedly, the absolute best oat bars I’ve ever had in my life! And it’s got my all-time favorite ingredient involved in the mix….have you met my bestie, Chocolate? Yummy Chocolate Granola Oat Bar Bites – Healthy & No Bake are the bomb!!
Besides chocolate these bites include peanut butter, honey, oats, butter and coconut. All natural and I’m telling you, these are so delish!! Perfect portions of fudgy peanut butter oat bites are so delicious, so I like them for my chocolate fix and because they’re healthy-delicious at the same time!
Sometimes, it’s fun to switch out the peanut butter with almond butter or cashew butter or any other nut butter you love!
Do you ever have those occasions where you know you should have something super healthy, but it but 95% of the time it tastes bearable but not good? I’m gonna go out on a limb and say….”Yes”!?!! 🙂
Well here it is folks! No reason not to make these. The kids would totally eat these up for a healthy snack in the afternoon or on the go quick breakfast, when there is no time! I keep these on the counter in a ziplock back and pop one or two into my mouth, whenever I feel the urge for something healthy and you know I have a sweet tooth, so this does the trick!
For some added super drama, toss in some dried fruit like raisins or dried cherries, wheat germ, flax seeds, chia seeds, nuts, or whatever floats your boat.
You can also make this gluten free using gluten free oats, vegan and dairy free with Enjoy Life Chocolate Chips
You need these little goodies, so get to no-baking it!
