One Bowl 5 Ingredients
This recipe couldn’t be any simpler or easy to make! It has all the sweetness you need to fix that Easter chocolate egg craving without all of the refined sugar and lengthy list of ingredients you can’t pronounce. These bars are a great base so feel free to add in anything you’d like. Mix in some nuts and seeds and you’ve got yourself a healthy breakfast bar, or double down on chocolate with some vegan chocolate chips or coconut. These bars are also super fun if you want to make some different sauces or drizzles to decorate the top with.
Rolled Oats
You may be familiar with rolled oats, quick oats, steel cut or crushed oats. The biggest difference is cook time and how processed the oat is. I went with rolled oats from Bob’s Red Mill for this recipe because they are less processed than quick oats and provide a ton of nutritional benefits. By throwing some rolled oats into this bar recipe you won’t lose any of the sweet treat appeals and you’ll also be getting:
Manganese: 191% of the RDI Phosphorus: 41% of the RDI Magnesium: 34% of the RDI Copper: 24% of the RDI Iron: 20% of the RDI Zinc: 20% of the RDI Folate: 11% of the RDI Vitamin B1 (thiamin): 39% of the RDI

Easter Dessert
Do you have 10 minutes? Perfect, because that is all you will need to prepare these peanut butter almond bars! Don’t forget to consider freezing time, so they are best made in advance and served chilled. They are a great dessert to bring to Easter dinner this weekend, trust me the entire family will enjoy them and be asking for the recipe. Since they are so quick and easy to make you can use some of that free time to try out some of my other indulgent recipes that are almost too good not to share:
