I love to bake and need little to no encouragement to find a reason to make something sweet. But with the holiday season just ahead, I love that these Flourless Chocolate Peanut Butter and Oat Bars are on the healthier side. I figure before I dive head first into all the pumpkin whoopie pies, peanut butter balls, thumbprints, and sugar cookies, for now I can satisfy my chocolate craving with wholesome ingredients!
Here’s what makes these Flourless Chocolate Peanut Butter and Oat Bars so great:
- they’re FLOURLESS, hence the name
- made with whole organic oats, gluten-free 🙌🏻
- full of creamy organic peanut butter + PBfit to keep the fat content in ✅
- calls for coconut palm sugar, a natural sweetener that’s low on the glycemic index and contains vitamins and minerals like Iron and Zinc
- dark chocolate chips, {yes please and thank you} enough said
- a short list of “real food” ingredients👌🏻
In addition to these Flourless Chocolate Peanut Butter and Oat Bars, try these Healthy Chocolate Chip Fudgy Brownie Bars, Chocolate Peanut and Oat Energy Bars, or Six Ingredient Dark Chocolate Truffles for a healthier sweet to indulge in this holiday season!

I’ve had a few leave comments that they had to bake for 30-35 minutes when using Truvia in place of the sugar – you may have to bake longer than my suggested 18-20 minutes. I tend to like my baked goods to be a little undercooked so they remain gooey and don’t chance drying out :)
