Description
Delicious and easy-to-make peanut butter oat bars
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- ½ cup honey (or maple syrup)
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt (only if peanut butter is unsalted)
- 3 cups rolled oats (old-fashioned or quick-cook)
Instructions
- Line an 8×8 pan with parchment paper.
- Combine the 1 cup creamy peanut butter and ½ cup honey in a glass measuring cup or medium heat-safe mixing bowl. Microwave this mixture for 30-60 seconds. After heating, stir the mixture well to evenly incorporate the honey into the peanut butter. If your peanut butter is unsalted, add ½ teaspoon kosher salt to this mixture.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 3 cups rolled oats with the peanut butter and honey mixture. Using a wooden spoon, spatula or handheld mixer on low speed, mix until evenly incorporated.
- Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and use an additional piece of parchment paper to press the oat mixture into an even layer in the prepared pan.
- Chill the bars for 10-30 minutes in the refrigerator to allow the bars to be easier to cut into squares.
- After chilling, remove the bars from the baking dish. Cut the bars into 12 squares and enjoy.
Notes
- Store in an airtight container for up to a week.
- These bars are great for meal prep and on-the-go snacks.
