  • Total Time: 20 minutes (excluding chilling)
  • Yield: 16 bars (approximate) 1x

Ingredients

Scale

1 tablespoon coconut oil (or any neutral-flavored oil)

1 cup natural peanut butter (100% peanuts, no stabilizers; creamy peanut butter can be used)

1/4 cup honey (maple syrup for vegan option)

2 tablespoons white (shiro) miso paste (optional but recommended)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

5 cups (5 ounces) basic cornflakes (gluten-free or vegan varieties can be used)

1 1/2 cups (9 ounces) semisweet chocolate chips (dairy-free for vegan option)

Flaky sea salt (smoked flaky sea salt suggested)

Instructions

1-Getting started: Getting started with these miso chocolate peanut butter cornflake bars is all about simple steps that even beginners can master. First, gather and measure all your ingredients to make the process smooth. Line a 9 x 9-inch baking dish with parchment paper for easy removal later on.

2-Next, heat the coconut oil in a large saucepan over medium-low heat until it’s melted. Then, stir in the peanut butter, honey, miso paste, and vanilla extract, heating steadily for about 2 minutes until everything is slightly warmed and well combined.

3-Combining and Setting the Mixture: Remove the saucepan from the heat and mix in the cornflakes until they’re evenly coated. Transfer this mixture to your prepared pan and press it down firmly and evenly to compact the bars. In a separate step, melt the chocolate chips using a double boiler or microwave, being careful not to burn them.

4-Spread the melted chocolate evenly over the cornflake mixture, adding swirls if you want a decorative touch. Refrigerate the bars for 2 to 3 hours until they’re firm, then lift the parchment to transfer the block to a cutting board and cut into squares. This no-bake method keeps prep time at just 20 minutes, with no cook time needed.
