No Bake Cookie Dough Bars
Description
The No Bake Cookie Dough Bars are constructed from a combination of oat and almond flours mixed with creamy peanut butter, sweetener, and vanilla. Chocolate chips are folded into this thick dough, which is pressed into a lined baking pan. The topping consists of melted chocolate chips blended with peanut butter and coconut oil, spread evenly over the base before chilling.
Refrigerating the bars solidifies the mixture, creating a chewy, rich texture with a balance of flavors from the nuts, chocolate, and sweetener. The finished bars are cut into squares and served cold, offering a portable, no-bake snack or dessert option.
The recipe emphasizes refrigeration time over baking, making it accessible and quick in preparation. Substitutions for the flours, nut butters, and sweeteners are possible with attention to texture and flavor changes.
Ingredients
For the Base
- 1 ½ cup oat flour
- 1 cup almond flour
- ¼ teaspoon salt sea salt
- 1 cup peanut butter creamy
- 3/4 cup allulose wholesome brand
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
For the Topping
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons peanut butter creamy
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
Instructions
- Line a 9×9 inch square baking pan with aluminum foil or parchment paper. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the oat flour, almond flour and sea salt until well combined.
- In another large microwave-safe blow, add the peanut butter and heat in the microwave for 30-60 seconds until it’s melted and smooth. Whisk the Allulose and vanilla extract into the peanut butter.
- Add the dry ingredients on top of the wet ingredients and stir well to fully combine. Then fold in the chocolate chips, keeping in mind the mixture will be thick. Transfer mixture into the prepared baking pan and press evenly into the pan.
- To make the chocolate topping, melt the chocolate chips, peanut butter and coconut oil in the microwave or on the stove. Stir until smooth. Spread over base until smooth.
- Chill in the refrigerator until completely firm, about 2 hours. Allow to sit at room temperature for 5 minutes before cutting. Cut into 16 squares and serve or store in the fridge.
Notes
- Store bars in an airtight container to keep fresh up to 7 days in the fridge or freeze for up to 3 months.
- Oat flour and almond flour can be swapped depending on preference or availability.
- Chocolate chips may be replaced by chopped chocolate bars for different texture.
- Alternate nut butters can be used but should be warmed to a creamy consistency for mixing.
- Allulose sweetener can be replaced with other liquid sweeteners, affecting sweetness and texture slightly.
