These chocolate peanut butter oat bars require no baking—just a saucepan and a refrigerator. Briefly cook rolled oats with butter, cane sugar, vanilla, and cinnamon, then layer them in a pan with melted dark chocolate and peanut butter. They're easy enough for beginners; just allow at least four hours for them to set. A 20 × 20 cm pan yields 16 pieces for a hearty breakfast or snack.

Instructions

Tip: tap a step to mark it as done.

Line a 20 × 20 cm pan with parchment paper and set aside. Combine the butter, cane sugar, and vanilla extract in a medium saucepan and heat over low heat until melted.
Add the oats, cinnamon, and salt and cook, stirring constantly, for about 5 minutes. Spread half the mixture in the prepared pan and smooth the surface.
Combine the chocolate and peanut butter in a small microwave-safe bowl and microwave until melted.
Pour the chocolate mixture over the oat layer, reserving some for drizzling. Spread the remaining half of the oat mixture on top, smooth the surface, and drizzle with the reserved chocolate mixture. Refrigerate the bars for at least 4 hours.

Tip: Press the bottom oat layer firmly into the pan with the back of a spoon to keep the bars from crumbling. Press the top layer only lightly onto the melted chocolate, or you will push the chocolate out toward the edges.
