Ingredients
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 3/4 cup honey
- 3 cups old-fashioned oats
Instructions
- Cook Peanut Butter and Honey: In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, combine the creamy peanut butter and honey. Stir continuously until both ingredients are melted and well blended into a smooth mixture.
- Combine with Oats: Remove the saucepan from heat and quickly stir in the old-fashioned oats until they are fully coated and evenly mixed with the peanut butter and honey blend.
- Spread and Chill: Grease a 9-inch square pan, then spread the oat mixture evenly into the pan, pressing lightly to ensure it is compact. Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature before covering and chilling it in the refrigerator for 1 hour to set.
Notes
- For easier removal, line the pan with parchment paper before pressing the mixture in.
- You can add extras like chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or dried fruit for variation.
- Store the bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
- If you prefer a firmer texture, chill longer or briefly freeze before slicing.
