Who’s ready for a little midweek/midday peanut butter pick-me-up?
As of now you’re only about 15 minutes and 7 ingredients away from these seedy, nutty Peanut Butter No Bake Granola Bars!
How to Make: Peanut Butter No Bake Granola Bars
The base of the bars are made up of three key ingredients
✔️oats
✔️peanut butter (or any nut/seed butter)
✔️sweetener (maple or honey – dealers choice)
Beyond these three here, you’ve got a lot of room to play around with this recipe mixing and matching different nuts, seeds and whatever other add ins you’d like. I’ve chosen to use a combination of chia seeds, pumpkin seeds, salted peanuts and dark chocolate chips but these can easily be swapped out depending on what you have in and what you like.
A few things to keep in mind when making these bars:
- Toast your oats. Toasted oats have a sweeter, nuttier, richer flavour and take next to no time to prep.
- Warm your peanut butter first. Pop it in the microwave for about 30 seconds to soften it up. This will make mixing everything together so much better.
- These bars are soft and chewy – for a firmer bar add an additional 1/4-1/2 cup oats.
Overall these bars are super easy to make and in very little time to boot.
They’re based off of my peanut butter and chocolate oats bars that have been getting a lot lot of love on social media lately. I’ve had a few people leaving comments on instagram and on the recipe sharing that adaptations that they’ve made turning them into more granola bar like snacks. I thought it was such a good idea that I wanted to make my own version to share!

If using a more traditional peanut butter (with a less runny texture) reduce the amount of oats to 2 1/4 cups

This recipe sounds amazing! To increase the protein could I replace some of the oats with my protein powder? Thanks!
You can certainly try it! I haven’t tried this with protein powder yet but I do think that will be no problem. I’d start out with 2 or 2 1/4 cups oats and then adding protein powder 1-2 tablespoons at a time until you reach the amount you want so you have more control over how well it mixes in. Hope you like it!
These look great! I want to try them.
Thanks Anne! Hope you like them!
