No-Bake Chocolate Chip Oat Bars

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.

Nutritional Benefits

  • Tahini: Tahini is toasted sesame seeds grounded down to a paste. It acts as an antioxidant and may help lower inflammation in the body. Sesame seeds have more phytosterols than other nut/seed butters which have shown to help lower cholesterol.
  • Peanut butter: Contains healthy fats and a little bit of protein along with B vitamins and vitamin E.
  • Maple syrup: Maple syrup is a healthier alternative to processed sugar. It contains numerous antioxidants as well as zinc, potassium, and calcium.
  • Dark chocolate: Contains antioxidants and is considered a “superfood”. It has fiber, iron, magnesium, potassium, and zinc.
  • Just Thrive Probiotic: Supports digestive, immune and total-body health. It also can help address issues like bloating, gas, and constipation. (A great and easy way to support your gut health!)
