No-Bake Almond Butter & Chocolate Oatmeal Bars

I posted a picture of these No-Bake Almond Butter & Chocolate Oatmeal Bars on Facebook the other day and a lot of you liked the post and told me that you wanted the recipe. I’m happy to report that this recipe came from my very own mom, who saw it in Clean Eating Magazine. Go mom for finding an awesome, healthy sweet to snack on!

If you’re one who likes to eat amazing food, but you don’t want to spend a lot of time on a recipe, this is for you! This recipe is so easy and requires very little on your part. The hardest part of this recipe? Waiting for the 3-4 hours it takes for the bars to set.

I’m a big snacker and working from home is hell some times. I HAVE to make sure that I have healthy snacks on hand because if not, I’ll go nuts on things I shouldn’t eat or I’ll go to starbucks and get something I shouldn’t be spending money on also.

These Bars are the perfect sweet treat to have on hand. Not only are they easy to make but they also taste incredible. I can make a big batch of them on Sunday and they’ll last all week. I love a recipe like that. They are also great to make when company comes over or if you want to take a sweet treat to the office that isn’t not cake or cookies.

I hope you enjoy this recipe for the No-Bake Almond Butter & Chocolate Oatmeal Barsas much as I did! I also want to encourage you to have fun with this recipe. Change up ingredients if you want to experiment. Rob hates Cherries, so I made my latest batch with Dried Cranberries. I think next time I’m going to also add in some different nuts as well. The bars are sweet and very satisfying for when you’re trying to be “good” and eat clean, but still want to enjoy a sweet!
