Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • ½ cup PB2 powder (or regular peanut butter)
  • 2 tbsp cocoa powder
  • ¼ cup honey or maple syrup
  • ¼ cup almond milk (or milk of choice)
  • 1 tbsp chia seeds (optional)
  • ½ cup chocolate chips (for coating and drizzle)
  • 1 tsp coconut oil
  • ¼ cup crushed peanuts (for topping, optional)

Instructions

  1. Mix oats, PB2 powder, cocoa powder, and chia seeds in a bowl.
  2. Stir in honey and almond milk until a sticky dough forms.
  3. Press mixture into a lined baking dish and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  4. Melt chocolate chips with coconut oil, then drizzle or dip bars.
  5. Chill bars again for 15–20 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • For firmer bars, freeze for 10–15 minutes instead of refrigerating.
  • Swap PB2 powder with regular peanut butter for a richer texture.
  • Use dark chocolate chips for a lower sugar option.
  • Store in the fridge for up to a week or freeze for longer shelf life.
