Need a healthy snack to get you through the day? These No-Bake Chocolate Oatmeal Bars are made with whole grains and healthy fats!

I think it’s safe to say this is my favorite recipe of all the dessert/snack ones this week.

These bars are small but mighty. They’re full of healthy fats, plenty of fiber thanks to the oats and peanut butter, and are outright delicious.

The best part? They’re no-bake! That’s right, you just heat all the ingredients on the stovetop and cool in the fridge before you slice into bars.

Are these Chocolate Oatmeal Bars healthy?

These bars are made with whole food ingredients, but they’re also higher in calories. Through my years of eating healthier, I’ve realized that “healthy” is not the same as “low calorie”!

There’s nothing wrong with eating one of these every day as a snack. They’re around 250 calories, so depending on your health goals, one should be plenty!

Can you freeze these bars?

So honestly, my favorite way to eat these is straight out of the freezer! I pull one out and let it sit for maybe a minute, then dig right in. I LOVE these things as an evening snack.

When you freeze them, place them on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper and flash freeze them just like that. Then you can put them in a quart-sized freezer bag.

What substitutions can I make?

I used butter, but you could probably use something like coconut oil instead. Both are a good source of saturated fat.

You could also omit the coconut, or add raisins or extra peanuts to this as well!
