Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 3/4 cup honey
  • 3 cups old-fashioned oats


Instructions

  1. Cook Peanut Butter and Honey: In a small saucepan, combine the creamy peanut butter and honey. Cook and stir over medium-low heat until the mixture is completely melted and well blended, forming a smooth consistency.
  2. Combine with Oats: Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the old-fashioned oats thoroughly until they are evenly coated with the peanut butter and honey mixture.
  3. Spread and Chill: Lightly grease a 9-inch square baking pan. Spread the oat mixture evenly into the prepared pan and press lightly to compact. Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature, then cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to firm up before cutting into bars.

Notes

  • Use creamy peanut butter for the best binding effect and smooth texture.
  • For added texture and flavor, consider adding mix-ins such as chopped nuts, dried fruits, or chocolate chips.
  • Store bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
  • For a vegan version, substitute honey with maple syrup or agave nectar.
