These no bake chocolate bites made with bran flakes and oats are satisfyingly chocolatey but not overly rich. Enjoy the delicious treat packed with some goodies from the cereals!
In my household, we all love to eat something sweet for dessert after dinner. I know it’s not healthy but we can’t help it! What I often try is to add a little bit of something with good nutrients to my recipe and less sugar, less margarine.
The sweetness of these chocolate bites is from the chocolate and 2 tbsp of golden syrup. The amount of the chocolate used in this recipe is not a lot, that’s why it’s not too sugary or rich but sweet enough for dessert. If you are looking to make richer chocolate sweets similar to this one, you may want to check this vegan tiffin bar recipe!
These bran flakes and oatmeal chocolate bites are
- No- bake so it’s very easy to make

- Chocolaty but not too rich
- Budget friendly
- Healthier packed with cereals and dry fruits
Ingredients needed
- Rolled oats

- Vegan chocolate
I already had the ingredients so didn’t have to buy anything. These are pretty basic ingredients, which are available in many shops and they don’t cost much. The coconut oil I used has a pleasant coconut aroma but if you don’t like it in your chocolate bites, choose refined one!
Quick making guide
- Line a 8×4 inch loaf tin with parchment paper or cooking foil.
- In a bowl, mix together the rolled oats, dry fruits, bran flakes (crushed).
- In a separate bowl, melt the chocolate with the golden syrup and coconut oil in the microwave.
- Pour the melted chocolate mixture into the cereal mixture and combine well with a spoon.
- Put the mixture in the prepared tin and press firmly from the top with your hand. Allow to chill in the fridge for at least one hour.
- Melt the chocolate and coconut oil in a bowl in the microwave. Take the chilled cereal bar out of the fridge and pour the melted chocolate over the top.
- Put back in the fridge and allow the chocolate to set for a while.
- Cut into bite size and enjoy!
They have a melty kind of texture when they are chilled lightly. As they stay in the fridge, they become more solid and have more bar-like texture. The leftover will keep in an airtight container in the fridge up to 7 days 🙂
