No-Bake Peanut Butter Bars
These No-Bake Peanut Butter Bars are the perfect treat when you're craving something homemade but don't want to turn on the oven! With layers of rich peanut butter and chocolate, they're easy to make and even easier to enjoy.
Ingredients
- 215 g peanut butter preferably smooth
- 80 ml maple syrup
- 110 g almond flour important to use almond flour, as it's safe to eat raw
- pinch of salt
- 125 g chocolate milk or dark
- 1 tsp neutral oil like vegetable oil
Instructions
- In a bowl, mix the peanut butter, maple syrup, almond flour, and a pinch of salt until you have a smooth dough-like consistency.
- Line a mold or small baking tray with parchment paper, then press the peanut butter mixture into the mold, flattening it evenly.
- Melt the chocolate with the neutral oil in the microwave or over a double boiler.
- Pour the melted chocolate over the peanut butter layer, spreading it evenly to coat.
- Place the mold in the freezer for about 45 minutes until the bars are firm.
- Once set, remove from the freezer and cut into bars.
- To prevent the chocolate layer from cracking when cutting, run your knife under hot water before each slice. Cut gently!
Notes
- For best results, use smooth peanut butter.
- Running the knife under hot water before slicing helps prevent the chocolate from cracking.
