- These homemade No-Bake Oat Bars / Granola Bars are an easy, healthier alternative to store-bought granola bars, customized with my favourite ingredients that are both natural and nutritious.
I much prefer making my own homemade oatmeal bars because I can control exactly what I'm putting into them, without any of the artificial additives that store-bought bars often have.
They're deliciously addictive, filling, energizing, and packed with nutrition - making them perfect for breakfast or a mid-day snack whenever you need an energy boost.
They're also perfect for meal prep because of just how incredibly easy they are to make - with no baking or equipment required.
Today, I'll show you how to easily make 4 of my favourite go-to recipes for these no-bake oat bars.

I love that you always show a variety of options, and with this recipe I'm going to try the Chocolate coconut protein bars first. Thanks for all the great recipes!
@connie6410 Thank you for watching! I'm glad you're enjoying the different variations, and hope you enjoy giving them all a try!
This week I was at the health food store and saw they had some oat bars and as god is my witness I was driving home from work today thinking "I'm going to try and recreate those!" But first I logged on and saw this. I got a few ideas. Definitely going to add some puffed rice and use some coconut oil. Also my hack for no bakes is I use a silicone muffin pan so I just pop out individual pieces with no cutting. Thanks for the inspiration!
That's awesome! For sure - the puffed rice helps make it less dense, a bit lighter, more airy and crunchy; while the coconut oil helps bind all the different ingredients together, which is helpful when using different types of ingredients with different textures. Great call on the silicone muffin pan! That's a great time saver 😀 Thanks so much for watching!
I'm a 72 old guy. I'm going to try to make these, I don't like cooking or doing dishes. This should cut down on both. And if they tast good, that will be a bonus. Thanks
Love these recipes! I have a soy allergy so processed food is OUT! Thank you for posting these great recipes!
Love the silicone muffin pan idea. I got some silicone molds that are bar shaped on Amazon. They are deeper than the size of a granola bar but I just fill them half way.
I made the protein oat bars, didn't have all the ingredients but used olive oil instead of coconut, normal milk, and chocolate flavoured whey. Incredibly easy to make, didn't take me long and I'm not experienced with this stuff. Most of all, after a few hours I had the best protein bars I've ever had, absolutely delicious, soft and very filling, unlike shop protein bars, and also clean of anything unnatural. I can't thank you enough for this recipe.
Amazing to hear! Thank you so much for sharing and for watching - I'm so glad they turned out so well for you! 😀
Made this last night and had it before and after my workout. It’s absolutely great I love how you show different ways to making it and also how detailed you are.Thank you!❤
Thanks so much for the kind words, and for watching! I'm glad you enjoyed the video and recipes!
These all look delicious! I'll be trying them soon. Thank you!
Just made the classic oat bar. It was nice and easy. I'm going to leave it in the fridge overnight. Thank you very much. I bought a quest protein bar yesterday afternoon, it was expensive and not very nice. It tasted artificial. I'm so glad I came across your channel. I can't wait to pack my oat bar in my lunch box for work. Thank you!
Thanks so much for the comment! I totally agree about the store-bought bars, especially protein bars. Often there are so many additives to them that make them taste a little off, or even worse, just unpaletable. I always prefer making my own, whenever I can as an alternative to store-bought bars - that way I can control what I put into them. Thanks so much for watching and for sharing!
I'm a huge fan of your cooking videos! I just made your overnight oats and it was a game-changer. It's so helpful to have recipes that are easily customizable for extra protein like these protein bars. Please keep these creative ideas coming!
Hey there! That's awesome that you enjoyed the overnight oats - there are so many ways to enjoy oats, I'm hoping you'll enjoy these recipes for the no-bake oat bars as well. And yes, I love sharing recipes that allow each person to customize according to their preferences 😀 Thanks so much for watching and for the comment!
Great recipe! Thanks for sharing!🎉
Thanks for watching!
Just wanted to say I love your cooking videos! I whipped up your overnight oats recipe recently and wow, it was so great! I especially love how easy it is to add different things for extra protein, just like with those protein bars you showed. Keep up the fantastic and creative recipe ideas!
That's awesome to hear! I'm so glad you enjoy the videos and the overnight oats. And for sure, sharing recipes that are easily customizable to suit everyone's own unique tastes and preferences is super important to me - it makes cooking or baking easy, accessible and enjoyable. Thanks so much for watching and for the comment! 😀
Thank you so much, this is the exact video i needed. One basic recipe that can be customized and no bake. I live in an old, historic home with no air conditioning. When summer comes I stop using the oven until fall.
That's great to hear! I'm glad you found the video helpful and I hope you enjoy giving it a try for those hot summer months without turning on the oven!
Thx a million best easy recipies I have seen in years definitely going to try them. God bless

We loved your overnight oats, we've been having them almost every morning and absolutely love them. Now I'd love to try these!
Thanks, your recipes are gems: they involve all available ingredients and they are so versatile. Also, I really like that they are more on a healthier side but I can still take a bit of chocolate or other yummies to add to the base, not even nearly a strict starvation diet but quite balanced.

Thanks so much for watching! (and they taste even better 😉)
Great Video Thank you for sharing!
Thanks so much for watching!
@@toastyapron You are so welcome.
I'm making the chocolate coconut bars as I write this! THANK YOU for posting the gram conversions for everything. It makes the process about 10x easier for me, especially given my physical disability, and I don't have to deal with the nightmare of sticky ingredients & measuring cups. Less cleanup too!
Absolutely! I'm glad you find the conversions helpful. Thanks so much for watching - I'd love to hear how the chocolate coconut bars turn out for you! 😀
@@toastyapron They turned out delicious and I find the texture really addictive- like easily the best texture of any oat/protein bar I've made or bought. I would not have thought to use hemp hearts or chia seeds, but I really liked the little crunch the chia seeds added, and I might even add an extra tbsp or two of hemp hearts the next time I make this! They even looked professional, despite being so easy to put together. I did share these with family members and some were not as fond of the coconut flavour that the coconut oil specifically adds (we're big fans of coconut flakes here, so it's likely not that), but I'm guessing I couldn't sub in a different oil because you need the saturated/solid at room temp quality the coconut oil brings? Thanks again for a banger of a recipe! I'm looking forward to making the crunchy oat bars next.
@LoveCrumb that's awesome to hear! I'm so glad they turned out great for you. As for subbing the coconut oil, you can also use melted butter which has a similar effect of binding the ingredients together. The taste may be more to your liking than the coconut oil!
@@toastyapron I'll make a note of that-thanks! Or maybe I'll just make 'em the usual way next time and keep them to myself hehe
These all looked really delicious! I especially loved all the suggested variations. It would be great to see a second round of granola bar recipes. You better believe I subbed!
Thanks so much for watching and for the support! I'm so glad you enjoyed the recipes! I'll definitely look into a sound round for a future video 😀
I just stumbled upon your channel and these energy bars. I made the trail mix bars, and I am very pleased with them. Everyone loves them, including the grandchildren.
That's so wonderful to hear! They a great kid-friendly snack or breakfast, for sure - I'm glad your grandkids love them as well! Thanks so much for watching!
Thank you for the great recipe! I made the Trail Mix bars today and they're delicious!
I'm so glad to hear you enjoyed them! Thanks so much for watching and for sharing how they went for you!
Thank you for this wonderful video. They all look delicious. I'm going to try them all. I'm going to make the second recipe first. I like all the dried fruits, nuts and seeds. 👍👍👏👏😊
Awesome! I love trail mix bar as well - it's one of my favourites and probably the one I most frequently make. I hope you enjoy giving it a try - thanks so much for watching!

Great Video lovely and clear.
Thanks so much for watching! I'm so glad you enjoyed it!
Wow! Saw this post this morning and made a mash up of the trail bar and crunchy oat bar. Left in fridge for 5 hours and they are AMAZING. So careful with my diet , do intermittent fasting so if I have a snack, I want to know exactly what’s in it.
Definitely recommend. Many thanks
That's amazing to hear! I honestly eat the trail mix bars the most out of these recipes - they're so easy to make and switch up each time with different types of nuts, seeds, dried fruits, whatever I have on-hand at the time that I'm looking to use up. Thanks so much for watching - I'm so glad they turned out so great for you!
😋😊💛 I ❤ everything oats! Thanks
And there are so many great ways to make oats! Thanks for watching!

Great inspo! I’ll have to figure out some alternatives for the nut butter.
Thanks so much for watching! There are some great seed butters out there, I'm sure you'll find something great to use!
Sunflower seed butter is good
Ok done my own trail mix... in the fridge...waiting to taste 😋 🇳🇿

That's so great to hear that you and your daughter enjoyed the energy balls recipes! I'm sure you'll love these as well - I'd love to hear how these bars turn out for you if you do decide to give them a try! Thanks for watching!
These recipes look so good! I’m going to buy some seed butter and try them making them for my son who has a nut allergy :-) It’s so hard to find recipes like this without nuts / nut butter, so I’m thankful for the idea of using seed butter! Looking forward to trying them all!!
Awesome! For sure, seed butter is a great way to enjoy this for those who have nut allergies. I'm glad you found the tip helpful! Thanks so much for watching!
Looks delicious, can't wait to try these recipes and stop buying store bought granola bars.
Awesome! Thanks so much for watching, I hope you enjoy giving them a try!
thank you))
Thanks so much for watching!
Wow
Thanks for watching!
Love these ideas, cant wait to try the base nut bar, but can I substitute olive oil for the coconut oil my husband and kids are allergic to coconut. Their food allergy makes healthy options difficult sometimes.
TA, honestly ...! You're a bloody dangerous man ! [grin]
You keep gifting us these utterly YUMMY things that make me want to rush off and make them immediately, regardless of the time of day - but I must, first, run them through my WW 'create' area to check how many points they are. And if they turn out to be too many, I shall bust out crying, and it'll be your fault ! 😂
Haha! I'm glad the videos are inspiring you to give them a try! I will say, they taste even better than they look 😀 so I hope the points work out in your favour! Cheers and thanks again for watching!
Yummie
Thanks for watching!
Regarding the salt; add dry ingredients and mix before adding anything wet.
These look so easy to make and delicious!
If I don't have coconut oil on hand, is any other kind of cooking oil okay? :)
Hi there! Yes you can use vegetable oil, olive oil, or butter as well. Hope that helps, thanks for watching!
Thank you #SaveSoil #Consciousplanet
Really enjoy your videos and recipes. Is there a place where they are available in a PDF?
Thanks so much for watching! I'm glad you're enjoying them! Currently not, but I am currently working on something where all the recipes found in my videos will be easily accessible. Stay tuned! 😀
I have a quick question...I am trying to consume lower amounts of cards for a bit...I assume these are not low carb bars right?..They look soooo good!!!
Hi there! Yeah, these are not considered to be low carb bars, but that's a fantastic idea for a future video! Thanks for watching!
❤❤❤❤❤❤
What can you substitute for coconut flakes and oil? I'm not a fan, so I'm wondering what to substitute.
Hey there! Instead of coconut oil, you can feel free to use butter as binding agent as well. And instead of coconut flakes, feel free to add whatever kinds of toppings you prefer (seeds, crushed nuts, etc.) Thanks so much for watching!
Is there any way to substitute the peanut butter for something else?
Hi there! Instead of peanut butter, you can use any type of nut butter (almond, cashew, etc) or seed butter (i.e. sunflower seed butter, etc.). Thanks for watching!
For the protein bar I guess water could sub for the almond milk? I don't use it & wouldn't want to buy just for the drop needed here & dairy milk would spoil too quick.
Hi there! Yes water would work just as fine to balance out the dryness from the powder. Hope that helps - thanks for watching!
Could u maybe tell a ratio for the classic bars ? Suppose we wanted to make a smaller batch
Why not just try halving the recipe?
Hi there! You can halve all of the ingredients to make a smaller batch! Thanks for watching!
Hi, could you make these without the sweetener?
Hi there! I personally haven't tried this recipe without using some sort of sticky sweetener (such as honey or maple syrup); I'm not totally sure what I'd substitute in its place to be honest! Sorry I couldn't have been of more help!
@@toastyapron no problem, thank you for taking the time to answer! If I find anything I will let you know. My husband doesn’t like sweet things!
I want to make the trail mix bars but dried fruit is so expensive
Hi there! I hear ya, dried fruit can vary in price and cost around the world depending on where you're located. You can feel free to skip the dried fruit and instead use nuts, seeds, or oats as well - it's totally up to you! Thanks for watching!
I have tried this before alone and it was great but ran into some problems now I used Ure help and mine now at ein the fridge BUT NOTHING IS UNCUSTOMIZABLE😂😂
I just added a couple more nuts and removed the coco oil cause I don’t like it 😢❤❤
What could I use instead of coconut oil? I can't eat that much oil.
Hi there! No worries - for substitutes, you can use butter or vegan butter; but if that (or other types of oil) doesn't work, you can try skipping the coconut oil altogether. Although it does help bind the ingredients together, the nut butter should do that as well. Hope that helps, let me know how it turns out for you!
@@toastyapron Thanks
Love his voice. There's something so happy and innocent about the Canadian tone. These bars look fantastic too!!!
Haha I appreciate that! Far from innocent, but certainly happy 😀 thanks for watching!
I'm on a mission to find the perfect healthy snack, and inn shaa Allah,these granola bars might be it!
Awesome! I hope you enjoy giving them a try - thanks for watching!
@@toastyapron inn shaa Allah, I'll try it...
👌👍👌👍👌👍
I made one waiting for 2 / 3hr .. let you know
Can anyone suggest an alternative to the coconut oil? I really don't care for it at all.
Hi there! You can feel free to use melted butter instead - it works similar to coconut oil as a binding agent. Hope that helps, thanks for watching!
is it ok to eat uncooked oats ?
Absolutely it is! I love no-bake/no-cook recipes for using up oats - they're super convenient and versatile. Hope that helps, thanks for watching!
How can i use less Sugar and fat?
Hi! For the Chocolate Protein bars, can I replace the Almond milk with Full Cream?
Hi! This recipe can work with other types of milk, instead of almond milk (i.e. skim, 1%, 2%, full fat milk, other plant-based milk). I haven't tried it with full cream myself, but if you do give it a try I'd love to hear how it turns out for you! Thanks for watching!
Agave syrup is not healthy ❤❤❤
Why?
Great!
Thanks for watching!
