Peanut butter and chocolate fridge bars are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that combines the rich flavors of chocolate and peanut butter with the health benefits of oats, raisins, and coconut oil. These no-bake bars are perfect for a quick snack or a dessert that you can prepare in advance and store in the fridge for whenever you need a sweet fix.
Instructions:
- Start by measuring out all your ingredients for ease of use.
- Mash the bananas in a small bowl until smooth.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the dry cocoa powder, salt, oats, raisins, and coconut flour. Stir together until well combined.
- In a medium saucepan, add the coconut oil and maple syrup. Heat over low-medium heat until the coconut oil is melted, stirring occasionally.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the mashed bananas and peanut butter until the mixture is smooth and well-blended.
- Pour the wet mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir until all ingredients are thoroughly mixed.
- Line an 8x8 inch (20x20 cm) baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the sides to make removal easier.
- Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Use a spatula to spread it out evenly and press it firmly into the pan to ensure it holds together well.
- Place the baking dish in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or until the mixture is firm and set.
- Once set, remove the pan from the refrigerator. Lift the mixture out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang.
- Place it on a cutting board, and slice into bars of your desired size.
- Store the peanut butter and chocolate fridge bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
Tips:
- To ensure a smoother texture, use ripe bananas as they mash more easily and blend better with the other ingredients.
- For a gluten-free version, make sure to use certified gluten-free oats.
- Feel free to swap out raisins for other dried fruits like cranberries or chopped dates for a different flavor profile.
- If you prefer a crunchier texture, consider adding a handful of chopped nuts or seeds.
