Ingredients
- 2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 cup natural peanut butter (creamy, unsweetened)
- 3/4 cup plain Greek yogurt (full-fat or 2%)
- 1/3 cup honey or pure maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips (at least 70% cocoa)
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil
Instructions
- Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving overhang for easy removal.
- In a large bowl, stir together peanut butter, Greek yogurt, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth.
- Add rolled oats and mix until evenly coated and fully combined. The mixture should be thick and slightly sticky.
- Press the mixture firmly and evenly into the prepared pan to form a compact base.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the dark chocolate chips with coconut oil in 20–30 second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth.
- Pour the melted chocolate over the oat layer and spread evenly with a spatula.
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until fully set and firm.
- Lift out using parchment overhang and cut into 12 bars before serving.
Notes
- Press the mixture very firmly into the pan for sturdier bars.
- Use certified gluten-free oats if needed.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
- Freeze for up to 2 months with parchment between layers.
