Make these quick and easy no bake granola bars using only five simple ingredients. They are chewy, kid-approved, and perfect for healthy meal prep snacks without needing your oven.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal.
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine the peanut butter and honey over low heat. Stir constantly until the mixture is smooth and fully combined. Do not let it boil.
  3. Remove the saucepan from the heat. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats and mini chocolate chips.
  5. Pour the warm peanut butter mixture over the oat and chocolate chip mixture. Stir well until all the dry ingredients are evenly coated.
  6. Press the mixture firmly and evenly into the prepared baking pan. Use the back of a spatula or a piece of wax paper to compact it tightly.
  7. Refrigerate the bars for at least 2 hours, or until completely firm.
  8. Use the parchment paper overhang to lift the slab out of the pan. Place it on a cutting board and slice into 12 even bars.
  9. Store your no bake granola bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.

Notes

  • For a firmer bar, reduce the honey slightly or add 1 tablespoon of flaxseed meal to the dry ingredients.
  • If you need a gluten free snack, confirm that your rolled oats are certified gluten free.
  • These freezer friendly snacks keep well for up to 3 months if wrapped individually before freezing.
