No-Bake Peanut Butter Oatmeal Energy Bars
If you know me well, you know I cannot live without peanut butter. I love its rich peanut-y flavor and natural sweetness. And I’ve been loving oatmeal bars for these few weeks, so I thought, why not make some peanut butter oatmeal bars?
Before I published this recipe post, I’ve actually made these peanut butter oatmeal bars several times. But every time I finished them too quickly to take photos that it’s till now this post happens.

INGREDIENTS FOR PEANUT BUTTER OATMEAL ENERGY BARS
It’s vegan, made with all plant-based ingredients, and no-bake.
- Peanut Butter: the hero of this recipe and the thing I’ve been talking about all the time.
- Maple Syrup: gives these bars the right sweetness.
- Coconut Oil: makes these bars firmer. Don’t use other oil.
- Chia Seeds: add more nutrition and serve as the binder for these oatmeal bars.
- Rolled Oats: You can’t call these “oatmeal” bars without oats, right?
- Walnuts: add more texture, flavor, and omega-3 to our bars.
- Macadamia Nuts: add the buttery flavor and crunchy texture to these bars. You can try to use other nuts but it’s just … different!
The reason why they’re called “energy bars” is that they’re very nutritious with the nuts, seeds, and oats inside. I always use rolled oats in my energy bars because they have more texture compared with instant oats.
HOW TO MAKE PEANUT BUTTER OATMEAL ENERGY BARS
It’s really easy to make these oatmeal energy bars and all is going to happen in one bowl. It’s kind of a 5 minutes recipe but you do need to freeze it for 20-30 minutes to firm up.
- Mix the peanut butter, maple syrup, and coconut oil together.
- Add the rest ingredients. Stir to combine well.
- Transfer the mixture to pan or mold and press down firmly.
- Freeze for 20-30 minutes.
- Slice and EAT!
When to Eat Them? You’re the boss!
These Peanut Butter Oatmeal Bars are sweet on the spot with the slightly chewy texture from the oats and crunchiness from the nuts.
They are perfect as grab-and-go breakfast, snack, pre-workout food, or anytime you want. I personally love to enjoy them whenever I have peanut butter craving, which happens quite often, to be honest. :9
