Guest blog and recipe by Jessica Selensky @feastytravels.
I am always making easy, no-bake treats throughout the year to satisfy my sweet tooth. However, I prefer to make recipes that don’t require a lot of effort. Something I can whip up and take to a get together or serve to family and friends.
These no-bake chocolate chip oat bars are the perfect sweet treat that you could enjoy as a healthy dessert or sweet breakfast to start your day. They are easy to whip up as a quick breakfast to eat on the go or for a perfect nutritional treat when the kids, or you, come home from school or work.
