There’s nothing better than peanut butter and chocolate, right? These no-bake Chocolate Peanut Butter Bars are SO delicious, as well as being ridiculously easy to make! They’re totally vegan, flourless and gluten free – making them the most perfect sweet treat to suit pretty much everyone. Not only are they really tasty, they’re also super satisfying.
I love using coconut flour – the texture is so perfect for these kind of no-bake treats! It makes the bottom layer just like the inside of Reese’s peanut butter cups.. YUM.

Chocolate Peanut Butter Bars (Vegan & Gluten Free)
Ingredients
Peanut Butter Layer
- 3/4 Cup Smooth Peanut Butter
- 1/2 Cup Coconut Flour
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 4 tbsp Maple Syrup (adjust to taste)
Chocolate Topping
- 2/3 Cup Vegan/Dark Chocolate Chips
- 1 tbsp Coconut Oil
Instructions
- Roughly line a loaf tin with baking paper
- In a medium sized mixing bowl, add the peanut butter, vanilla and maple syrup - whisk until well combined
- Then mix in the coconut flour.
- Spoon this mixture into the bottom of the loaf tin and press down with your hands until even
- Put the chocolate chips in a microwave-proof bowl along with the coconut oil
- Microwave for 1-2 minutes until partially melted (then mix until completely melted)
- If you're using broken up chocolate, melt this in a bain marie (glass bowl placed over a pan of hot simmering water)
- Pour the chocolate topping over the peanut butter layer and place in the freezer for 30 minutes until set
- Pull the slab out of the loaf tin and turn it upside down onto a chopping board - (this makes it easier to then slice into bars as the chocolate will be harder)
- Slice into bars

Nice! It really doesn’t get much better than a peanut butter and chocolate combination (:
Thank you! Agreed ??
Just for your info, peanuts/peanut butter are not paleo. So you can’t say that any of your recipes using pb are paleo. So you’ll want to edit your posts. Just an FYI.
What are the calories/macros like on these? They look amazing!!
Hey! Thank you so much! I don’t count macros or calories so I don’t include them on here x
These sound great! But i’m allergic to peanuts, do you think Cashew nut butter would work?
I haven’t tried them with cashew butter, but I’m sure it would work just fine! Let me know if you try it xx
Is it possible to set these in the fridge? I have a tiny freezer!!
Thank you
Yes! It will just take longer – leave them over night x
