No-Bake Buckeye Bars Recipe

You don't have to be an Ohio fan to enjoy these Buckeyes! My healthy no-bake buckeye bars recipe is made without refined sugar and reminds you of a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup. Chocolate peanut butter lovers, this treat is one for you!
Serving Size 9 squares

Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 cup oats, ground into flour
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter runny
  • 1/3 cup pure maple syrup or honey
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup chocolate chips
  • 1 Tbsp coconut oil

Instructions

  • Line an 8x8 glass baking dish with parchment paper.
  • In a blender, grind the oats into flour.
  • In a mixing bowl, stir together the peanut butter, maple syrup, and vanilla. Then, mix in the oat flour.
  • The peanut butter mixture should feel like playdough. Press into the parchment-lined baking dish.
  • In a microwave-safe glass bowl, add the chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave for 1 minute, or melt using the double-boiler method. Stir well.
  • Pour the melted chocolate over the peanut butter base and spread evenly over the top.
  • Refrigerate for 1 hour to set. Then, slice into 9 squares.
  • (Optional): Sprinkle flaked salt over the top.
