Have you tried making my 4 ingredient Vegan Chocolate Peanut Butter Bars? They’ve been one of my most popular recipes since I shared them a few years ago—along with the paleo version: No Bake Paleo Chocolate Almond Butter Bars.

Today, I thought it’d be high time to share some new photos, a bit of a recipe revamp and answer your common questions about my easy vegan chocolate peanut butter bars. Are you ready? Let’s do it!

Easy Vegan Chocolate Peanut Butter Bars (Gluten Free)

You might be asking, what the heck are no bake chocolate peanut butter bars? Some folks know them as Lunch Lady Peanut Butter Bars, Homemade Reese’s No Bake Peanut Butter Bars, or even No Bake Cafeteria Peanut Butter Bars.

The classic version of peanut butter bars include 2 layers: one layer that’s firm & sweet featuring peanut butter, and the second is the chocolate topping. How is my recipe for no bake chocolate peanut butter bars any different?

Most no bake peanut butter bars are made with a combination of butter, confectioners sugar and graham crackers. Years ago, when I really, really craved/needed to make a healthy, vegan + gluten free peanut butter bar, I realized that I had to leave those ingredients out.

So here’s what I came up with… (inspired by my 3 Ingredient Peanut Butter No Bake Energy Bites Recipe) 😉

Quick & Simple Vegan Peanut Butter Bars—in 4 ingredients!

My very favorite dairy free peanut butter bars can be made with just 4 simple & healthy ingredients. They’re so easy to make, gluten free, vegan and delish—basically my favorite easy vegan dessert recipe!

  • Ingredient 1: unsalted, natural creamy peanut butter
  • Ingredient 2: (dairy-free) vegan chocolate chips
  • Ingredient 3: pure maple syrup
  • Ingredient 4: coconut flour – which makes it grain-free!

I was a little too proud of myself for figuring out that my heretofore enemy, ahem, otherwise known as the indomitable coconut flour, could be used as a healthy, grain-free thickener for the peanut butter layer in these healthy peanut butter bars. Combined with maple syrup, well, you’ve got the tastiest vegan peanut butter bars. Like, ever.

How to Make No Bake Healthy Peanut Butter Bars

  • Step 1: Combine peanut butter, maple syrup and coconut flour in a bowl. Whisk & fold until deliciously thickened.
  • Step 2: Pour this peanut butter mixture into a prepared pan & smooth into an even layer.
  • Step 3: Melt together vegan chocolate chips & remaining peanut butter. Stir until silky smooth.
  • Step 4: Pour the melted chocolate mixture over the bars.
  • Step 5: Chill until completely firm.
  • Step 6: Slice & enjoy the best healthy peanut butter bars!

Simple & Easy Gluten Free Dessert: Healthy Vegan Peanut Butter Bars!

Isn’t that basically the best easy vegan chocolate peanut butter bars recipe. Evah?!? It’s so simple that I constantly get comments & emails being like, “Uhhh… I really didn’t think these gluten free peanut butter bars would work. But it did. And it’s AWESOME!!” and… “also, can you move next door so I can help you ‘taste-test’?” Tee-hee!!

The best part is that these no bake chocolate peanut butter bars are made without powdered sugar, butter or graham crackers. How cool is that?

Freezing & Storing these Easy Gluten Free Vegan Peanut Butter Bars

These gluten free peanut butter bars are easier to eat than they are to store. But they’re also easy to store. Lol. On the 1st day, the chocolate topping still needs to set, so you’re better off storing your healthy peanut butter bars in the fridge. After Day 1, go ahead and store your PB bars at room temperature, out of direct sunlight.

Great news: you can keep your healthy peanut butter bars for up to 2 weeks!

Freezing: store your dairy free peanut butter bars in a freezer-friendly container for up to 2 months. Allow to thaw for 10 minutes before storing or go for it (if you like it super duper firm & have strong teeth. Lol.)

Heat in 20-second increments until chocolate is softened and melty. Stir in between heating increments, until smooth.
  5. Pour the chocolate mixture over the peanut butter filling. Using a clean rubber spatula, smooth into an even layer. Tap the pan a few times to help even out the chocolate.
  6. Transfer pan to freezer. Freeze for 45-60 minutes, or until firm. Remove from freezer and slice into 16 bars. Enjoy! Storing instructions below.Also try my 4 Ingredient No Bake Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup Oatmeal Bars and my Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Breakfast Bars.

    Everyone already knows how tasty these are, my experience is nothing different. EXCELLENT bar. It came out just as pretty as the pictures and the flavor is AMAZING. One detail that I didn’t see anyone mention, and I might be mistaken on that, was using crunchy PB vs creamy. I did just that and, as I said, couldn’t be more pleased with the results. Although I haven’t made it with creamy PB, I might be so bold to suggest that they’re better with crunchy considering the additional texture it adds.

      I seriously loved reading your comment, Rebecca. And I must say, BE BOLD, and keep making these with crunchy PB! 😉 (I say as I enjoy a spoon of crunchy PB –coincidence, much?!) I’m so pleased that you not only loved these peanut butter bars’ flavor, but also how they presented. Happy No Baking!

      The peanut butter in this recipe adds a wonderful flavor that’s like a Reese’s peanut butter cup, but you could use another nut/seed butter if need be. Hope you enjoy!

    Some of your recipes have been real life changers for me but these and the breakfast bars are the ones I make the most. I just wanted to add that we put these in silicon cupcake molds and using 1 tablespoon of the bottom and one tablespoon of the top it comes out just even to make 18 cups. We just press the bottom down with wet fingers before adding the top. Thank you so much for all these wonderful recipes!

      May 2, 2019 at 1:38 pm

      Hi Danielle! You might be able to use regular flour or gf flour. You’d have to increase the amount since coconut flour is super absorbent. Also: toast the flour for 5 mins at 350F in the oven first to remove potentially harmful bacteria in the raw flour. Enjoy!

    • Demeter | Beaming Baker says

      Thanks Sacha! I think you might be able to use almond flour—just increase the amount & expect much softer, moister bars. The sugar free syrup should work. Keep me posted! 🙂

    This was a great base recipe! I used almond butter instead of peanut and used 1/2 almond flour and 1/2 oat flour. I also significantly reduced the amount of maple syrup to 2Tbsp since the original recipe called for over 1/3 cup of maple syrup! Good base recipe. Thank you.

You may just have to increase the amount by a few tablespoons to get the right texture (coconut flour is much more absorbent than oat flour). Enjoy!!! PS, I’m so glad you love the blog. Hugs!!

    These are delish! I had to make a dairy free dessert a few days ago and found this recipe – I figured you can’t fail with peanut butter and chocolate! I didn’t have coconut flour so I actually substituted it with sprouted spelt flour, which is also very absorbent. Not gluten-free I realize, but it worked great, and although we ate the dessert right out of the freezer, once it started thawing, the peanut butter layer was still holding together nicely. Everyone loved it and it will definitely become a regular in our house!

    Hi Demeter, I absolutely love your recipes! They are so easy to make, taste scrumptious, and are perfect for my vegan friends (and non-vegans too of course!). These bars were SO yummy but I had a couple of issues: I had to transfer the peanut butter layer to a smaller container to get the same thickness as in your photos, and the peanut butter was a bit too sticky even after freezing. The only thing I did differently was use honey instead of maple syrup. Do you have any insights; I would love to bring these for my co-workers! Thanks for such a wonderful site.

      Hi Jessica, thank you so much! 🙂 My hope is that they appeal to both vegan and non-vegans, so yay! 🙂 In terms of insights: did you stir up your peanut butter really well before using? Natural PB can lend semi-unpredictable results when not well-mixed. Were the bars less sticky the next day? I’ve never had an issue with them being too sticky the first day, but even so, by the next day, the coconut flour has absorbed a good amount of moisture and made the bars drier. Lastly, perhaps the honey had a bigger impact than either of us might’ve guessed. I’ve never used it with this recipe, so who knows? 😉 Thanks for stopping by. Hope this helps!

      Hi Rose, I’m not really sure how potato flour or tapioca flour would affect this recipe. A potential issue would be that the bars would turn out a bit too soft, or too dry. I’d say give them a try with the measurements as listed, then see how you like ’em. If they’re too dry, reduce the flour for next time. If they’re too soft, increase the flour next time. Also keep in mind that they dry up over time. Enjoy! 🙂

      Hi Anna! Do you mean a 4 layer bar? That sounds amazing! If so, it might just work–my only concern is the chocolate layer being firm enough to place another layer of peanut butter filling on top. Here’s my suggestion: follow the recipe as written. In the last step, freeze for 1-2 hrs (until extremely firm) and do not slice. Repeat making the PB and chocolate layers, but put them on top of the first set of bars you made. Slice. Enjoy! 🙂

      Hi Allison, a few readers have tried swapping the coconut flour out for oat flour with success. 🙂 I’d suggest increasing the amount by at least 2 tablespoons (since coconut flour is WAY more absorbent than oat flour). Play around with the amounts until you get the consistency you like. Remember that the oat flour will absorb the oils from the peanut butter over a few days, and thus thicken the bars. See what you like. Can’t wait to hear how they turn out! Enjoy! 🙂

But I just realized your recipe said a fourth of maple syrup (well I used honey actually!). But you know? It turned out to taste fantastic anyways! I also used crunchy, salted peanut butter. The result was the bars were pretty…flat, I guess. But still it tasted AMAZING. I’m so glad I found this recipe. Thank you!!

      Hi Diane, welcome! 🙂 You know, I’ve never tried making these bars with all purpose flour. However, I’ve had a few readers swap the coconut flour with oat flour with success. Oat flour works pretty similarly to all purpose. The only thing I’d caution is that coconut flour is MUCH more absorbent. As such, the bars may be more moist and not as thickly packed and dense as they should be. You might just have to keep the bars in the refrigerator. Hope this helps! 🙂

      Thanks so much, Joyce! 🙂 It must be so hard to resist those bars! And definitely torture for folks who simply can’t have them. Margarine–interesting to learn! Thank you so much for taking the time to stop by. 🙂

    Is there anything better than peanut butter…well yes, peanut butter with chocolate. I love these bars so much and love that you made them vegan. Saving this one!

    Hang on a sec while I go put on 5 pairs of socks so that these beautiful nutty bars can rock ALLLL of them off!!!! As if turning peanut butter cup into bar wasn’t tricky enough you also made them with the good stuff, the wholesome stuff, and I love you for that. Because eating Reese’s flavor in every shape and form possible is one of my life’s missions…okay actually I had not thought of that yet to add to my life missions list, but it should be. That bite shot where you can really get a feel for the super luscious texture–irresistible! You nailed it–and it seems like you and ol’ coconut flour are getting closer and closer by the delicious recipe 🙂 Love ya!! <3

      LOLOLOLOL. Nat, you almost made me spit my coffee out! . But to be fair, I knew I was about to read a comment from you, so I totally should have removed all drinks from the premises. 😉 Please add that to your life’s mission. Then, when we meet up, I will GLADLY help you cross it off your list! <--Who said I never do anything? Haha. Me and coconut flour now have a tentative and fear/respect understanding. . Muah! Love ya more! <3

    Oh my little D to the Meter and your beautiful mind!!! Umm if anyone can make something magical and delicious, it is YOU, my sweet n’ sassy friend! These bars look AMAZING! Almond Joy and Reeses were my favorite candies when I was little, way back before the nasty cocoa allergy stole all the joy from my life. So these bars are a weird form of torture to my soul. I mean, bars that taste ridiculously delicious, exactly like a Reeses AND are better for you? I’m totally pouting right now. I WANT THEM ALL!!! Oiy. Guess I’m just going to have to make these for Boy and try not to die of jealousy as he eats them all. Pinned!!! Cheers, my little peanut butter loving friend! xoxoxoxoxoxox

        Hi Kailynn, no I haven’t actually! You might have better luck with carob chips for the topping. Also, you’re so sweet!! Thank you. Let me know how it turns out. Big hugs back to you!

    Hi Demeter!
    Oh wow, what a way to start a Monday morning! I could barely drag myself out of bed this morning.

And- I love peanut butter chocolate EVERYTHANG! 😉

    I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE peanut butter! And almond butter, cookie butter, you get the point! 🙂 But I have to say that pb is my favorite. And you know I’m all about no-bake recipes, so it’s like this was meant for me! I am seriously drooling over here, Demeter! It’s not good to read food blogs when you haven’t eaten breakfast yet! 🙂 I’ve made a similar version before, but I’m loving your gluten free bars. Such a fun treat for Christmas! I bet this will be the hit of the dessert table. Pinned, of course! Hope your week is off to a great start, friend!
