Peanut butter oatmeal bars are the perfect healthy snack!

These peanut butter oatmeal bars are an easy, healthy snack or breakfast. You’ll love these oatmeal breakfast bars filled with peanut butter, oats, and mini chocolate chips.

Peanut butter oatmeal bars are the perfect healthy snack!

Chocolate and peanut butter make an irresistible combination. I love them in desserts like fudge, brownies, and scones, and I even drink them together in a smoothie.

My family also enjoys these healthy peanut butter oatmeal bars for breakfast or snack time. They have all the delicious flavor of their dessert cousins, but you can feel even better about eating them because of the oats.

These oatmeal bars have a soft texture, and they stay fresh for about 3 days. They’re great for breakfast or an after-school snack, and they work well for road trips, too.

The process behind making peanut butter oatmeal bars is so easy.

Peanut Butter Oatmeal Bars Tips

I use a stand mixer to fully combine the ingredients. You can also mix them together by hand. You may end up with small clumps of peanut butter in the batter, but this isn’t a problem.

Be sure to let the bars cool before you cut them. Otherwise, they may crumble a bit. I use a metal spatula to cut them rather than a knife. By cutting straight into the bars with a spatula, you avoid the crumbly edges you may get with a knife.

Cut these oatmeal breakfast bars with a spatula for the best shape.

These bars can be frozen for another time. I usually freeze half the batch in case my family doesn’t eat them all within a few days. They defrost quickly on the counter at room temperature.

For a nut-free version, try my healthy oatmeal bars without the almonds, or my banana oatmeal chocolate chip muffins.

    These look delicious! Can you substitute white whole wheat flour?
