Ingredients for Healthy No-Bake Chocolate Peanut Butter Bars

Peanut Butter Layer:

1 cup natural peanut butter (no added sugar)
1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
1/4 cup date syrup (sugar-free alternative)
1 1/2 cups oat flour (or finely ground oats)
1/2 cup vanilla protein powder (choose your favorite, preferably plant-based or whey. I like Levels…code KAILA20 saves $$ or Promix…code HEALTHYHELPER10 saves $$!)

Chocolate Layer:

1 cup dark chocolate chips (sugar-free or sweetened with stevia…I use HuKitchen and you can use code HEALTHYHELPER to save 15%!)
1 tablespoon coconut oil

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Peanut Butter Base:

In a large bowl, mix together the peanut butter, melted coconut oil, and sugar-free syrup until smooth.
Add the oat flour and protein powder, stirring until everything is well combined. The mixture should be thick and dough-like.
Press the peanut butter mixture evenly into a lined 8×8-inch pan. Use a spatula or your hands to smooth the top.

2. Make the Chocolate Layer:

In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the dark chocolate chips and coconut oil. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
Pour the melted chocolate over the peanut butter layer, spreading it evenly with a spatula.

3. Chill and Set:

Place the pan in the refrigerator for at least 1-2 hours, or until the bars are firm and the chocolate layer has set.
Once set, remove from the fridge and cut into bars or squares.

4. Store and Enjoy:

Store the bars in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week, or freeze for longer storage. Enjoy straight from the fridge or let them sit at room temperature for a few minutes before eating for a softer texture.
