No-Bake Peanut Butter Maple Oatmeal Bars

No oven, no fuss — just a handful of good ingredients and a few minutes of stirring. These bars strike that perfect balance between salty peanut butter, rich maple sweetness, and a touch of chocolate. The oats give them structure, the cacao nibs (or chips) add crunch, and the maple ties it all together with warmth and depth.

They’re the kind of snack that feels indulgent but still good-for-you enough to justify seconds. Keep them chilled for a chewy bite, or let them soften for a melt-in-your-mouth treat. Either way, they don’t last long.

Ingredients

• 1 cup natural peanut butter
• 1/3 cup Sugarman of Vermont pure maple syrup
• 1/4 cup cacao nibs (or sub with mini chocolate chips)
• 1 cup old fashioned rolled oats
• 1/3 cup chocolate chips
• 1 teaspoon coconut oil
• Sea salt, for sprinkling

Directions

Step 1
Line an 8×8″ baking dish with parchment paper.

Step 2
Place the peanut butter, maple syrup and cacao nibs in a medium bowl and stir to combine. If the peanut butter is too solid, melt it slightly in the microwave to make it easier to stir. Add the oats and stir until combined.

Step 3
Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and spread evenly.

Step 4
Place the chocolate chips and coconut oil in small microwaveable bowl. Heat for one minute, then stir. Heat another 30 seconds, then stir until smooth.

Step 5
Drizzle the chocolate over the bars, and sprinkle with sea salt, if desired. Chill for a minimum of 3 hours or until set. Cut into bars and enjoy!
