Packed with chocolate, peanut butter, and hazelnuts, these Coconut Oil Chocolate Hazelnut Squares come together in minutes and are an easy, no-bake treat!

Jam-packed with chocolate, peanut butter, hazelnuts, and coconut oil, these squares come together in minutes and are an easy, no-bake treat.

Another Valentine’s Day has come and gone. Did you celebrate the special day or just treat it like any other Saturday? The hubster and I aren’t big into celebrating it. Don’t get me wrong, I love all of the pink and red heart decorations and goodies floating around this time of year, and definitely don’t mind a card or some flowers, but I could pretty much take it or leave it.

When the hubster and I were dating, we would celebrate the anniversary of our first date (which was February 5th) and Valentine’s Day into one. Now that we’re an old, married couple (ok so not that old, but we’ve been married for a year and a half already!), we just jump right to our annual Valentine’s Day tradition: we order a heart-shaped pizza from one of our favorite pizza places!

We started this about four years ago and it’s been our special tradition ever since. Throughout the past few years, we’ve ordered some spectacular heart-shaped pizzas, and some that would put those lovely hearts to shame. But whatever the shape may be, I’m always excited to eat my favorite food (I could eat  pretty much every day) and spend time with the hubster.

 So naturally, there has to be a connection between our heart-shaped pizza and the recipe I’m sharing today, right?

Well, sorta…since I definitely ate my weight in pizza this weekend (that’s not a bad thing, right?), I thought I would start the week off with a healthier treat. And that’s where these Coconut Oil Chocolate Hazelnut Squares come in! Because I just can’t get enough of granola and experimenting with the endless flavors, I decided to whip up these squares using some ingredients that I found in my kitchen.

Jam-packed with chocolate, peanut butter, hazelnuts, and coconut oil, these squares come together in minutes and are an easy, no-bake treat.

I’ve made granola bars before and plenty of granola recipes too, but these Coconut Oil Chocolate Hazelnut Squares are my new favorite. Jam-packed with chocolate, peanut butter, hazelnuts, and coconut oil, these squares come together in minutes and are an easy, no-bake treat.

These granola squares are perfect to grab ‘n go for a quick breakfast or mid-morning snack. And because they’re filled with simple ingredients, you can feel good about what you’re eating.

This was my first time using coconut oil in a granola bar and it’s definitely not the last! Since there are so many health benefits to using this oil, I try to sneak it into my baked goods whenever I can. And if you’re not a fan of anything coconut flavored, you’re in luck because the oil doesn’t make these squares taste like coconut, I promise!

These Coconut Oil Chocolate Hazelnut Squares are full of a chocolate and creamy peanut butter, with the crunch of hazelnuts and chocolate chips sprinkled on top. These squares are also easy to make and so much better than the store-bought kind. If you’re anything like me and go through a box (or two) of granola bars a week, then save yourself some money and try out these squares. Delicious, nutritious and full of flavor, you’ll never go back to the packaged kind again!

Jam-packed with chocolate, peanut butter, hazelnuts, and coconut oil, these squares come together in minutes and are an easy, no-bake treat.

Coconut Oil Chocolate Hazelnut Squares

Jam-packed with chocolate, peanut butter, hazelnuts, and coconut oil, these squares come together in minutes and are an easy, no-bake treat!
Course Dessert
Cuisine American
Keyword coconut oil recipe, hazelnut recipe
Prep Time 11 minutes
Servings 12 squares
Calories 377.8kcal

Ingredients

  • 2½ cups old-fashioned oats
  • 1 cup milk chocolate chips
  • 1 teaspoon chia seeds
  • ½ cup hazelnuts chopped
  • ⅔ cup peanut butter
  • ½ cup honey
  • ½ cup coconut oil in solid form

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, combine oats, chocolate chips, chia seeds, and ¼ cup hazelnuts. Set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, combine peanut butter, honey, and coconut oil. Microwave until melted, stirring every 20 seconds so that oil does not burn.
  • Remove from microwave and pour peanut butter mixture into oat mixture. Stir thoroughly until combined. Chocolate chips will melt and create chocolate mixture.
  • Pour mixture into an 8x8 baking pan and press down using a spatula. Top with additional chocolate chips and rest of hazelnuts.
  • Refrigerate until firm, about 30-40 minutes. Cut into squares.

Notes

Squares are best kept in the refrigerator, as the bars will become too soft if left at room temperature because of coconut oil.

    Your heart shaped pizza tradition sounds wonderful Gayle!! I had no idea that heart shaped pizzas even existed until now so I am literally blow away over here (I want one!! lol). It sounds like you and your hubby enjoyed a really lovely Valentine's Day! Sometimes the relaxing times at home with a good pizza are the best!! :) I ended up having a ladies night because J is out of town - we'll make sure to celebrate when I'm back and maybe I'll even make a heart shaped pizza now that I know they exist :) And let's talk about these bars!! They are absolutely gorgeous and I love all the goodness in them from the oats, coconut oil and chocolate! YUM and PINNED! :) Hope your week is off to a great start!!

    Hi Gayle, Great recipe!! Quick question though, I live in a very humid country,will these bars travel well? I noticed its a refrigerated recipe (to give you an idea, in my country coconut oil is always liquid unless you place it in the fridge... ) If it doesn't do you think adding some ground flax and baking it will help? Thanks :)
    Reply
    • Gayle says

      February 16, 2015 at 7:45 pm

      Hi Desha! I'm not sure how well these bars would travel since they would become a little mushy at room temperature. I've only kept these in the fridge and on my counter for no longer than a few hours, but where I am, the coconut oil is in solid form if left in my pantry. I've never actually baked with ground flax before, but it sounds like it would help toughen it up a bit! Maybe also try adding a little less coconut oil than necessary so it will still bind together when finished. Sorry I can't be of more help! Hope this turns out if you try it and please let me know if you like it! Thanks so much for stopping by! :)

    I love experimenting with granola and granola bars too! These squares look amazing, I love the peanut butter and chocolate, you can never go wrong with that combo!

    I love your Valentine tradition! Heart shaped pizzas are so cute. And they somehow taste better than regular pizzas. Haha! This coconut oil granola squares sound delicious! I am obsessed with coconut oil. I am using in place of butter and regular oil as much as possible. Can't wait to try these!

      Thanks, Natalie! They do taste a little better, don't they? :) I love using coconut oil too, though I don't like anything coconut flavored! Thanks for the kind words, friend!

    I love the heart shaped pizza tradition! We used to do the same thing, but my husband was away for work this V-Day and it all kinda fell by the wayside. V-Day seemed to be much more exciting when I was young and we could have parties at school and I would just eat chocolate and not even think about having a special person cause I was way too young! I still do love eating all the goodies these days though and these hazelnut squares sound amazing! I don't cook with hazelnuts nearly as much as I should :)

      I agree, Izzy! Valentine's Day was a lot more fun when I was little too...I loved handing out valentine's cards to my friends! Thanks so much for the kind words, friend!

    I'm not too big into all of the Valentine's day gifts either, but I could definitely share a heart shaped pizza on Valentine's Day! I think food always tastes better when it's made into cute shapes too haha. I love these coconut oil squares, I'm always looking for new ways to use coconut oil too. These would be a great breakfast or snack. Pinned!

    I love that you used hazelnuts in these! They are sooooo good! And these squares look awesome. The husband and I had our first date about a week before valentine's day so we always just say that valentine's is our "meeting" anniversary haha not that we really celebrate but still! :)

    Heart-shaped pizza is the best kind of tradition! And with all the chocolate I most definitely did not (yeah, right) consume this weekend, a healthier treat is just what I need! These look delicious :-)

      Hi Bhavana! I've never used anything other than honey or maple syrup so I don't have any other recommendations. Sorry about that!
