No bake chocolate oatmeal bars. Just 5 ingredients and 10 minutes to assemble then time in the fridge overnight and you’ll have these delicious treats ready for you to carve.
These no bake chocolate oatmeal bars are good - in fact, they’re too good!
And how do I know that?
Well my cheeky little nieces loved them and I can tell you that’s a real seal of approval!
I know that you folks too will love how these oat bars taste so chocolatey and delicious.
But the best part is of course that no baking is involed. You can enjoy these oat treats at any time of the year with minimum effort!
We took a batch of these no bake chocolate oatmeal bars over to my nieces a couple of weekends ago.
These bars are based on the same winning formula as my popular no bake almond oat bars.
These chocolate oat bars have the addition of chocolate chips but they're still made with no refined or processed ingredients.
And these tasty morsels were soon being put through a set of rigorous tests!
Were they chewy and sweet enough? Yes!
Were they chocolatey and gooey enough? Yes!
Were they filling enough and just enough for a sweet treat? Yes!
Chocolate oatmeal bars, approved by the nieces!

Equipment
Ingredients
- 225 g smooth sugar free almond butter
- 300 g runny honey
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 300 g porridge oats
- 100 g dark chocolate chips
Instructions
- Line the bottom and sides of an 20cm x 20cm square baking tin with greaseproof / parchment paper.
- In a large saucepan over a gentle heat, place the almond butter, honey and cinnamon. Then stirring constantly, allow these to melt and infuse together. Remove from the heat.
- Stir in the oats and dark chocolate chips and combine the mixture well together.
- Put the combined sticky mixture into the lined baking tin and flatten it out all over by pressing down with the tips of your fingers making sure the bottom of the tin is evenly lined.
- Place the baking tin into the fridge overnight.
- In the morning, remove from the fridge, lift out the hardened slab using the greaseproof paper onto a cutting board, and cut into 16 bars.
- Store in a fridge in an airtight container to keep as fresh as possible until time to eat.
Dannii @ Hungry Healthy Happy
This is pretty much how I make my oatmeal bars too! It is crazy how many ingredients go in to store bought oatmeal bars - they are just full of junk.
neil@neilshealthymeals.com
It's sad that people can't just spend 10 minutes making these instead, like you say, of buying those store bought ones!
These are all natural and so much better for you. And, I think, tastier too! 😀
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine
O I can't believe they are no bake <3 They look superb 😉 Too good...for only a moment, until I eat them all and need to make more!
neil@neilshealthymeals.com
Ha Ha, that's brilliant Rebecca. 🙂 Thanks, I'm glad you like them.
Believe me it's tempting not to eat these all in one go! When I was trialling them, I made them, tried one and put the rest in the freezer, away from temptation.
But, that was also good because we then knew they were completely freezable too!
Amanda @ .running with spoons.
Chewy, gooey, chocolatey, and sweet?!?! I'm sold! These look fantastic, Neil! And I love that they're no bake because ain't no one got time to wait 30 mins to enjoy something so tasty 😀
neil@neilshealthymeals.com
Thanks Amanda, yeah these totally got a seal of approval from my little nieces.
They're pretty fussy kids, only liking some stuff I make, but when it came to these no bake bars, they seemed to go down pretty well for some reason. Must have been because they're chewy, gooey, chocolately, and sweet 😉
Megan @ Skinny Fitalicious
These look amazing! I need to try them and no baking is always a win.
neil@neilshealthymeals.com
I'm a big fan of no baking Megan, not only because it's so much less hassle but I love the idea of something being stuck in the fridge overnight and being there, ready for you in the morning!
And it's not like they're going to burn or anything either is it? 😉

NO BAKE recipes are a blessing and a curse... I think you know why! lol!
neil@neilshealthymeals.com
Yeah I do Gigi 😉
I blame blogging. That's where I found all about the culture and technique of no baking! Otherwise.....I would never have discovered it.
Susie @ Suzlyfe
I feel like these need to be microwaved and then served with some ice cream. Just saying.
neil@neilshealthymeals.com
No! I mean yes!! Yes, Yes! THAT is a FANTASTIC idea, lady!
I never thought of that, Lynne is going to love that. Particularly because I've a whole stack of these to use up in the freezer, and your idea is so simple for our weekly Sunday pudding!
Thank you! Awesome! 😀
