Over Easy
Peanut Butter Dark Chocolate
TL:DR
In 2 Sentences
A short, recognizable ingredient list anchored by organic gluten-free oats, peanuts, honey, cage-free egg whites, and organic dark chocolate—no sugar alcohols, preservatives, or emulsifiers. It’s dairy-free yet still delivers complete protein via egg whites.
When to choose Over Easy Peanut Butter Dark Chocolate
Reach for it as a real-food breakfast or pre-activity snack when you want steady energy and straightforward sweetness, not a diet bar. Ideal for people avoiding dairy who still want a balanced, oat-and-nut bar.
What's in the Over Easy bar?
Peanut butter and dark chocolate do the heavy lifting here—and they’re real.
Over Easy builds this Peanut Butter Dark Chocolate bar on organic gluten-free oats, cage-free egg whites, peanuts and peanut butter, and organic chocolate chips (cocoa mass, cane sugar, cocoa butter), tied together with a touch of honey, vanilla, and sea salt.
That lineup signals an energy-forward bar: carbs land on the higher side for protein bars (around the 80th percentile), fat is moderately high (about the 73rd), and protein is a gentler 10 grams led by egg whites with a small assist from peanuts.
In other words, it eats like a satisfying, whole-ingredient snack rather than a shrink-wrapped protein bomb. And the flavor promises are literal—roasty peanuts plus true chocolate, not a “chocolate-flavored coating.

Protein
1015LOWProtein here comes primarily from cage-free egg whites—a clean, complete protein with excellent digestibility—supported by smaller contributions from peanuts and peanut butter. At 10 grams, it’s lighter than the heavy-hitting whey bars, making this more of a balanced snack than a pure protein delivery system. Bonus: it’s milk-free if you’re avoiding dairy.
Fat
119MIDEleven grams of fat come mostly from peanuts and peanut butter (rich in monounsaturated fats), with cocoa butter from the chocolate adding some saturated fat—mostly stearic acid, which is considered relatively neutral for LDL. It’s a bit higher than average for bars, which helps with fullness and tempers the sweetness. If you’re watching saturated fat, the chocolate is the piece to note.
Carbs
2520HIGHMost of the 25 grams of carbs come from organic gluten-free oats (a whole grain with beta-glucan) and a dose of tapioca fiber, a refined “resistant dextrin” added for soluble fiber and texture. Honey and the cane sugar in the chocolate chips provide the sweetness, so you get quick energy up front followed by steadier burn as the oats, fiber, fats, and protein slow things down. Overall, think real-food carbs with some added sugars, not a cocktail of sugar alcohols.
Sugar
104HIGHThose 10 grams of sugar come from honey and the organic cane sugar in the chocolate chips—no artificial sweeteners and no sugar alcohols. It’s higher than many diet-leaning protein bars, but the trade-off is straightforward sweetness from familiar ingredients. Pairing those sugars with oats, added fiber, and fats helps smooth out the rise in blood sugar.
Calories
230210MIDAt 230 calories, this sits in the upper-middle of the bar world. Calories are split fairly evenly between carbohydrates (oats plus honey/cane sugar) and fats (peanut butter and cocoa butter), with protein playing the smaller role. That balance makes sense for everyday snack fuel or a pre-activity bite rather than a low-cal, high-protein meal replacement.
Vitamins & Minerals
There aren’t any vitamin or mineral standouts over 10% Daily Value on the label. You do get small amounts of iron (from cocoa and oats) and potassium, plus a bit of vitamin E and magnesium naturally present in peanuts. The real nutritional story here is macronutrients and fiber rather than fortification.
Additives
The list reads like a pantry: oats, peanuts/peanut butter, honey, egg whites, organic chocolate chips, vanilla, and sea salt. The one more manufactured touch is tapioca fiber—a refined resistant dextrin used to boost soluble fiber and help the bar hold together—which most people tolerate well in modest amounts. There are no emulsifiers, preservatives, artificial flavors, or sugar alcohols listed.

Range
“I was a big fan of OverEasy Banana Nut bars, but I'm trying to swap to keto to hopefully lose a little more weight (down 20lbs, need another 20), however, it seems almost all the keto bars are dessert flavors, and that's not really what I want for my breakfast.”
Main Praise
The most consistent praise is simple: it tastes like real food. Bon Appétit described Over Easy as basically homemade baked oatmeal in bar form—soft, chewy, and just sweet enough—without the chalky aftertaste so many bars carry.
Eat This, Not That! backs that up, positioning it as a satisfying stand-in for hot oats when you’re on the run.
Amazon reviewers echo the sentiment: Chelsey highlights the simple ingredients and calls it her new favorite breakfast bar, and Denise C. raves about the soft, chewy texture that even wins over a picky teen.
A few fans mention it pulls double duty as a topper—crumbled over yogurt, it’s a quick breakfast that tastes like you actually made something.
Main Criticism
Not everyone is charmed. A handful of Amazon reviews call out bitterness or an off consistency—Susan A.
found it bitter, and L C C labeled the texture horrid. Others mention a slightly gritty chew; as Susan W.
joked, it’s “a bit like gravel,” which can happen when you expect candy-bar smoothness from oats and peanuts.
From a nutrition angle, Mashed flagged an Over Easy flavor for relatively higher saturated fat, a lot of fiber that could bother some stomachs before a workout, and calories that feel a bit stout for breakfast.
And if you’re looking for a whey-level hit, 10g of protein can feel light.
The Middle Ground
Put the two sides together, and expectations do most of the steering. If you read “Peanut Butter Dark Chocolate” and imagine milk-chocolate candy, the darker chips can lean a touch bitter—and if you want nougat-soft, the oats-and-peanuts chew may feel rustic.
If you want breakfast that tastes like breakfast, the soft baked-oatmeal vibe is exactly the point, which is why food editors keep recommending it.
Mashed’s concerns are fair if you’re watching saturated fat or have a sensitive gut, though their critique focused on another flavor; here, most fat is from peanuts with a smaller share from cocoa butter, and there’s added soluble fiber from tapioca that most people tolerate in normal snack amounts (pre-workout mileage varies).
Over on r/keto, a user who liked Over Easy acknowledged it doesn’t fit a strict keto pattern—which is a feature, not a bug: this is an oat-based snack with honest sweetness from honey and cane sugar and zero sugar alcohols.
The truth sits in the middle: it’s not a protein powerhouse or a candy bar, but a portable, credible breakfast.
What's the bottom line?
Over Easy Peanut Butter Dark Chocolate is the bar to grab when your morning looks like “oats + peanut butter + a few dark chips,” but you’re walking out the door. It favors real ingredients, a soft chew, and steady energy over maxed-out protein stats or artificial sweeteners. At 230 calories with 10g of protein, it slots nicely as a breakfast or pre-activity snack rather than a full meal replacement.
Sweetness comes from honey and cane sugar, buffered by fats from peanuts and cocoa butter and the fiber in oats and tapioca. Skip it if you need 20+ grams of protein, if you’re strict low-carb or keto, or if peanuts or eggs are off your list. But if you want a dairy-free, gluten-free-ingredient bar that actually tastes like food and avoids sugar alcohols, this one earns its spot in the pantry.
Think portable oatmeal with perks—and yes, it plays nicely with a cup of coffee. 10g protein, 230 calories, no sugar alcohols; great for breakfast or pre-activity fuel. Not for strict keto, anyone needing 20+g protein, or those avoiding peanuts/eggs.
