A creamy chocolate and peanut butter filling meets crunchy golden oats in this easy No Bake Chocolate Peanut Butter Oatmeal Slice Recipe. Gluten free, vegan, egg free and no oven needed!
So, a few days after we moved into our house, I baked a quiche and found that our oven temperature was way, way off.
I opened the oven door and it felt like opening the door to hell. What was supposed to be 180C/355F almost singed my eyebrows off as heat blasted from the oven and within seconds, the baking paper surrounding the quiche was burnt too.
I knew it wasn't 180C, so the next day I went off to buy an oven thermometer and my suspicions were confirmed.... 180C was actually 240C.... and whilst the dial goes much much higher, I haven't even been game to try 😅
So what do you do when your oven thermostat has a mind of it's own? You experiment.
With a bag of Gloriously Free Uncontaminated Oats in the pantry and a big block of chocolate, I decided I wanted to make a no bake slice... and ohhhh am I glad I did.

- Once your chocolate has melted, pour the mixture over your base and sprinkle the remaining oat mixture on top.
