1,2,3… Bake and Enjoy!

I’m on a 3-ingredient recipe kick lately and I’m lovin’ it! I always go for fewer ingredients when the weather gets warmer because I want to minimize time in the kitchen and maximize time by the pool! 🙂

These bars are a family favorite! We can devour a whole batch of them in one sitting and have another baked and ready to enjoy in no time! They’re so easy, super healthy and yummy yum yum! I’m addicted to them and my boys literally beg for them! We eat them for breakfast, snacks and dessert ALL THE TIME!

These bars are made with three healthy ingredients that we always have on hand and they take hardly any time to bake! They’re chewy with a slight crunch from the toasting of the oats as they bake and they’re loaded with peanut butter and honey giving them that sweet & salty combo that irresistible! No excuses on this one, my friends! 1, 2, 3…bake & enjoy!

How to Make 3-Ingredient Peanut Butter Honey Oat Bars

First, preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease an 8-inch square baking dish with cooking spray and set aside.

Then, in a medium bowl, stir together the oats, peanut butter and honey. Spread the mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.

Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the oats start to toast and turn a light brown on top. Let cool completely before cutting into squares. Store in an airtight container.

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

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease an 8-inch square baking dish with cooking spray and set aside.
  2. In a medium bowl, stir together the oats, peanut butter and honey until well combined. Spread the mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.
  3. 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.

        Can steel oats be used?

      • The BakerMama says

        May 16, 2022 at 11:22 am

        Hi Brenda! If they’re quick-cooking steel cut oats, they should work great, but I would not recommend using regular raw steel cut oats or already cooked steel cut oats. Hope this helps. And here is a recipe for steel cut oat cookies you might enjoy: https://thebakermama.com/recipes/4-ingredient-steel-cut-oat-cookies/

    I am looking for a low salt bar and these sound GREAT for my need. Can these be made with unsalted peanut butter? The peanut butter that I have been using is also unsweetened but I assume that makes no matter since there is honey in the recipe. Thanks.

    Do you use a natural peanut butter or more like Jif? Thanks!

      Hi Sara! I use Natural Jif or Natural Skippy. They tend to have less oil settling on top. Hope this helps. Enjoy!

      Hi Joy! So glad you liked the Peanut Butter Honey Oat Bars as much as we do. I don’t provide nutritional information at this time because everyone uses different brands of ingredients which often have differing nutritional values. I would recommend plugging the ingredients you used into a free online nutrition calculator like: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/recipe/calculator Hope this helps. Continue to enjoy!

    Hi, Can I use Quaker gluten free quick oats instead of rolled oats?

    Reply
    • The BakerMama says

      May 1, 2021 at 11:06 am

      Hi Kelly! Yes, most oats are actually gluten free unless they’re processed in a facility where they could be exposed to gluten. The Quaker gluten free quick oats will work just as great, the bars will just bake about 2-5 minutes quicker. Hope this helps. Enjoy!

    Mine turned out too crumbly to cut. Used like a topping for yogurt. What did I do wrong?

    Reply
    • The BakerMama says

      January 18, 2022 at 7:26 pm

      Hi Nina! What kind of peanut butter did you use? I’m wondering if it was not creamy enough? Or did you over-bake them? Did you use old-fashioned oats? Next time, if the mixture seems too dry before pressing it into the baking dish, try adding more peanut butter or honey. And maybe try baking them for just 10-15 minutes as oven temperatures sometimes vary and they could have dried out if they over-baked. Hope this helps and that you were still able to enjoy as a yogurt topping which sounds so yummy. 🙂

    Mine also turned out too dry, twice now. A great idea but a waste of ingredients.

      Oh no! I’m wondering if it’s the type/brand of peanut butter you’re using or if they were baked too much. I would recommend reducing the baking time and using a creamier peanut butter. If the mixture seems dry before patting it in the pan, I recommend adding a little more peanut butter and/or honey until the mixture is moist and easy to press into the baking dish. Hope this helps. Enjoy!
