No-bake cookies are one of my favorite things to make. A few years ago I ran across a recipe for no-bake oatmeal bars that are amazing. Since that day, I have been tweaking the recipe. Today, I present to you my Chocolate Cranberry Oatmeal No-Bake Bars! Dun dun dun!!

Chocolate Cranberry Oatmeal No-Bake Bars are tasty, clean-eating friendly, gluten free, dairy free, and easy to make.

My girls love helping me make these bars. Doodles sits on the counter and measures while Cakey stands on a stool and stirs.

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 cups Gluten free rolled oats
• 1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
• 1/2 cup unsweetened coconut flakes
• 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
• 1/2 cup dried cranberries
• 1 cup peanut butter
• 1/2 cup honey
• 1/2 cup coconut oil
• 1 1/4 cups dark chocolate chips
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions:

1. Melt the peanut butter, honey, and coconut oil over medium-low heat in a saucepan on the stove.
2. Stirring constantly to keep from burning.
3. Remove from heat once it’s melted together and add in the oats, coconut, chocolate chips, cranberries, walnuts, and vanilla.
4. Stir together until the chocolate is completely melted.
5. Pour into a greased 9×13 pan and cool in the fridge.
6. When the mixture is hardened, cut into bars and eat. Store in the refrigerator or freezer.

I like to search Vitacost for the ingredients to make my Chocolate Cranberry Oatmeal No-Bake Bars. That way they are healthy and inexpensive! Vitacost often has coupons like X dollars off your order of X amount. Plus, if you shop through Ebates you can get cashback too!

James does not care for the Chocolate Cranberry Oatmeal No-Bake Bars because he doesn’t like cranberries or nuts. Coming up in a few weeks I’ll share another no-bake bar recipe that is James-approved.

Have a blessed day!
