Ingredients

  • 1 cup peanut butter creamy
  • ½ cup pure honey
  • ½ cup coconut oil solid
  • 1 ¼ cups mini semi-sweet chocolate chips see note
  • 2 cups old fashioned oats uncooked
  • 1 cup shredded coconut unsweetened or sweetened
  • ½ cup chopped nuts of your choice I use pecans or walnuts
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • shredded coconut optional, extra for topping

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a large saucepan over medium-low heat, add peanut butter, honey, and coconut oil. Stir constantly until just melted; take care that it doesn't burn. Turn heat off.
  2. Add the chocolate and stir until just melted. Add oats, coconut, nuts, and vanilla. Continue to stir until fully incorporated.
  3. Grease a 9x13 pan. Pour chocolate mixture into the pan. Use rubber spatula to spread mixture out evenly into the corners and edges. If desired, sprinkle extra coconut evenly over the top.
  4. Cover and chill for several hours or overnight. Once it is hardened and set, cut into squares and serve chilled. Bars will melt if kept out too long, so keep them covered and chilled at all times.

  • We recommend using mini semi-sweet chocolate chips as they melt more easily and distribute more evenly throughout the bars.
  • When melting the peanut butter, honey, and coconut oil, keep the heat low and stir constantly to prevent burning. This will also help the ingredients to mix well.
  • Adding the chocolate chips after the peanut butter mixture is melted will prevent them from burning and maintain their smooth texture.
  • Feel free to use unsweetened or sweetened shredded coconut based on your preference. You can also leave them out if you wish.
  • Feel free to swap our your favorite nuts or use seeds instead. 
  • Use sunflower seed butter in place of peanut butter for a nut-free version.
