Description
3-Ingredient Peanut Butter Honey Oat Bars are the perfect healthy snack. Easy to bake and you probably always have the ingredients on hand!
Ingredients
- 2 cups old-fashioned or quick cooking rolled oats
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter (I use natural peanut butter)
- 1/4 cup honey
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease an 8-inch square baking dish with cooking spray and set aside.
- In a medium bowl, stir together the oats, peanut butter and honey until well combined. Spread the mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.
- Bake for about 12-15 minutes or until the oats start to toast around the edges and turn a light brown on top. Let cool completely before cutting into squares. Store in an airtight container.
Notes
If the mixture seems dry before pressing it into the pan, add a little more peanut butter and/or honey until the mixture comes together. Some peanut butters are thicker and more dry than others.
We didn’t have enough honey to help it stick together so we added 50g of melted butter with a bit of sugar and milk – oh my word they were delicious! The butter added such a yummy richness, almost like cookies 😃
I didn’t have the right size tin so used muffin tin instead for individual ones.
Hi, Hailey! That’s some ingenuity right there! I am so glad you were able to figure out how to get them to stick together without having enough honey on hand. Butter just makes everything tastier, too 😂 Thank you so much for sharing your adaptations and I’m so thrilled they worked out great for you!
