Description
Sweetened with dates and packed with oats, flax seed and banana, these No-Bake Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Breakfast Bars are hearty, nutritious, and oh-so tasty!
Ingredients
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 3/4 cup peanut butter (creamy or crunchy)
- 10 pitted dates
- 1/2 cup mashed banana
- 2 tablespoons whole ground flaxseed meal
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
Instructions
- In a food processor, add the oats, peanut butter, dates, mashed banana and ground flaxseed meal. Pulse until the ingredients are well combined and stick together.
- Add the dark chocolate chips and pulse a few times until they’re chopped a bit and evenly distributed.
- Line an 8-inch square baking dish with parchment paper. Press the mixture evenly into the baking dish. Press additional chocolate chips into the top of the mixture, if desired.
- Refrigerate for at least 3 hours or overnight. Once the mixture is chilled and set, use the parchment paper to lift it from the baking dish and then cut the mixture into 8 or more even sized bars.
- Store the bars in a sealed container, with parchment paper between each layer, in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
