EASY HEALTHY NO BAKE PEPPERMINT OAT BARS WITH WHITE CHOCOLATE
These healthy no bake peppermint oat bars with white chocolate are not only incredibly delicious with a delectable fudge-y texture but they are incredibly easy to throw together & require no baking!
ARE THESE HEALTHY NO BAKE PEPPERMINT OAT BARS WITH WHITE CHOCOLATE VEGAN?
Yes! The base of these oat bars is naturally vegan (when omitting the collagen) & the full recipe can easily be made vegan by using a vegan white chocolate for the topping. If you can’t find a vegan white chocolate you can also use your favourite vegan regular chocolate in place of the white chocolate & they will still be just as delicious!

ARE THESE HEALTHY NO BAKE PEPPERMINT OAT BARS WITH WHITE CHOCOLATE GLUTEN-FREE?
Yes! I made these gluten-free by using certified gluten-free oats. If you are gluten-intolerant you want to make sure to get certified gluten-free oats for recipes, these are the ones I used. If you are not gluten-free, regular rolled oats will work as well.
CAN I MADE THESE PEPPERMINT OAT BARS NUT-FREE?
Yes! While I used cashew butter in these bars you can easily make them with a seed butter like sunflower seed butter for a delicious nut-free option, perfect for school or work!

Ingredients you will need for these no bake peppermint oat bars:
Healthy No Bake Peppermint Oat Bars
- pumpkin puree
- nut or seed butter of choice (I used all natural cashew butter)
- coconut oil, melted
- pink salt
- peppermint extract
- cacao or cocoa powder
- coconut sugar
- maple syrup or honey
- collagen peptides, optional (omit for vegan option)
- rolled oats (make sure they are certified gluten-free to keep this recipe gluten-free if needed)
White Chocolate Candy Cane Topping
- white chocolate chips (I like these for lower sugar or you can just use regular. For vegan use a vegan white chocolate or sub with regular vegan chocolate chips of choice)
- coconut oil
- candy cane, crushed

HOW TO MAKE THESE HEALTHY NO BAKE PEPPERMINT OAT BARS
You are simply going to mix all of the ingredients together in a bowl for the peppermint oat bars. Once everything is mixed together well you are going to spread it into a parchment paper lined baking & place in the freezer while you make the white chocolate topping.
You can either melt the white chocolate & coconut oil in the microwave for about 15-30 seconds & then mix well or you can heat it over low heat in a small pot until melted.
Spread the melted chocolate over the slightly chilled bars & place them back in the freezer until they were firm. Mine were set in about an hour. Once firm, remove from the pan & slice into bars. I got 8 bars from mine but depending on the size of your pan & how big or small you make your bars you may get slightly more or less.
HOW TO STORE THESE HEALTHY NO BAKE PEPPERMINT OAT BARS
I like to store these in the fridge as they are perfectly soft once removed but you can also store them in the freezer you may just have to let them slightly warm to room temp for a few minutes if they are too hard right away. I store my bars in an air-sealed container or a baggie.
