How to Make No-Bake Greek Yogurt Peanut Butter Chocolate Oat Crunch Bars

Step 1: Line Your Pan

Line an 8×8-inch pan with parchment paper, letting some hang over the edges for easy removal.

Step 2: Combine Wet Ingredients

In a bowl, stir together peanut butter, Greek yogurt, and honey (or maple syrup) until smooth and creamy.

Step 3: Add Cocoa Powder

Add the cocoa powder to the wet mixture and mix until fully incorporated.

Step 4: Add Dry Ingredients

Stir in the rolled oats and crushed nuts or granola until everything is well combined and sticky.

Step 5: Pack Into Pan

Transfer the mixture into the prepared pan and press down firmly with a spatula or the bottom of a glass to compact the bars.

Step 6: Chill

Refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or up to overnight) so the bars set and hold together when sliced.

Step 7: Slice & Enjoy

Lift out with the parchment paper, slice into 9 or 12 bars, and enjoy!

What to Serve with These Bars

  • A cold glass of milk
