Peanut Choc Breakfast Bars
Chocolatey peanuty breakfast bars (that you can eat any time of the day, not just breakfast).
What you need
- whole oats
- cinnamon
- medjool dates, chopped
- maple syrup
- peanut butter
- cacao (or cocoa) powder
How to make peanut choc breakfast bars
Preheat oven to 180C/350F. Grease and line a baking tray.
Add all the ingredients to a mixing bowl and mix together with your hands (or a spoon but I like to use my hands).
Add the mixture into the baking tray and press down firmly with the back of a spoon.
Bake in oven for 15-20 mins. Once cooked, leave to completely cool before cutting into 8 slices.
These may be ‘vegan breakfast bars’ but I eat them whenever. I usually have them as a snack as they aren’t enough for breakfast alone. They’re also a great pre or post workout snack.
If you are to eat them with breakfast, make sure to accompany them with something else, as they aren’t enough for breakfast by themselves. They go great with a bowl of fruit and yoghurt or a smoothie.

Made these for me and my parents as a snack to take to work, tastes soooo good and chocolatey. I don’t really like peanuts or peanut butter, but tastes very yum in these 🙂 very quick and easy to make these as well
