These delightful no-bake chew sticks are a powerhouse of flavor and energy, blending the creamy richness of peanut butter with the sweet-tart burst of blueberries, all held together with wholesome oats. Perfect for a quick breakfast, a post-workout refuel, or a satisfying snack on the go!

  • Total Time: 15 minutes
  • Yield: 12 sticks 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups rolled oats (not instant)
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup honey or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/2 cup fresh or frozen blueberries (if frozen, do not thaw)
  • Optional: 2 tablespoons chia seeds for extra bind and nutrition

Instructions

  1. Line an 8×8 inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal. This will prevent sticking and make cutting a breeze later.
  2. In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the peanut butter and honey (or maple syrup). Microwave on high for 30-60 seconds, or until the mixture is warm and easily stirrable. Alternatively, heat in a small saucepan over low heat until smooth and combined.
  3. Remove the mixture from the heat (or microwave) and stir in the vanilla extract and sea salt until well incorporated. The aroma will be incredible!
  4. Add the rolled oats and optional chia seeds to the peanut butter mixture. Stir vigorously with a sturdy spoon or spatula until the oats are evenly coated and everything is thoroughly combined. The mixture will be quite thick.
  5. Gently fold in the fresh or frozen blueberries. Be careful not to overmix, as this can crush the berries too much. Just enough to distribute them throughout the oat mixture.
  6. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish. Using the back of a spoon or your hands (lightly moistened to prevent sticking), press the mixture firmly and evenly into the pan. Ensure it's packed down well to help the sticks hold their shape.
  7. Cover the dish loosely with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or until firm. This chilling time is crucial for the chew sticks to set properly.
  8. Once firm, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the entire slab out of the dish. Place it on a cutting board and cut into 12 even sticks or squares using a sharp knife. Enjoy your delicious homemade chew sticks!

Notes

Store these No-Bake Blueberry Peanut Butter Chew Sticks in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. They can also be frozen for up to 1 month; thaw slightly before enjoying. For a varied texture, you can lightly toast the oats before adding them to the mixture. Feel free to swap out blueberries for other dried fruits like cranberries or chopped dates, or add a sprinkle of mini chocolate chips for an extra treat!
