Description
These No-Bake Molly Bars are a quick, easy, and delicious dessert made with peanut butter, honey (or maple syrup), oats, chocolate chips, and coconut flakes, all without the need for baking. A perfect treat for summer or busy days.
Ingredients
- 1 cup of peanut butter
1/2 cup of honey or maple syrup
2 cups of rolled oats
1/2 cup of mini chocolate chips
1/2 cup of coconut flakes
1/4 cup of ground flaxseed (optional)
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, heat the peanut butter and honey (or maple syrup) over low heat until melted together. Stir to combine.
- Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
- Add the rolled oats, chocolate chips, coconut flakes, and flaxseed (if using) into the peanut butter mixture. Stir until all ingredients are well combined.
- Line a baking pan or dish (8×8-inch works well) with parchment paper. Pour the mixture into the pan and press it down firmly into an even layer.
- Refrigerate for at least 1-2 hours, or until the bars are set and firm.
- Once chilled, cut the bars into squares and enjoy!
Notes
- For added variety, you can include dried fruit, nuts, or seeds as mix-ins.
- For a richer flavor, drizzle melted chocolate over the bars before chilling.
- If you prefer a different nut butter, you can swap peanut butter for almond, cashew, or sunflower seed butter.
- To make it vegan, use maple syrup instead of honey.
- Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week or freeze for up to 3 months.
- If using protein powder, adjust the ingredients to maintain consistency.
