This healthy chocolate peanut butter oat bar recipe was passed down from my grandmother, and they are SO GOOD! “energy bars” is another great name for them. It’s not often that I love the “healthy” version of one of my favorite treats (oatmeal no-bake cookies), but I CRAVE THESE. And I have no guilt eating these chocolate peanut butter oat bars for breakfast because all of the ingredients are AWESOME. Seriously though, make these and give them to your kids as “treats” and you will actually be doing them a huge favor!
Instead of butter, we use coconut oil and Instead of sugar we use raw honey. But you would never know. They are jam-packed with flavor and sweetness.
