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, combine the peanut butter and honey. Cook and stir the mixture over medium-low heat until both ingredients are melted together and blended smoothly.
- Combine with Oats: Remove the peanut butter and honey mixture from heat. Stir in the old-fashioned oats until they are well coated and evenly mixed.
- Spread and Chill: Lightly grease a 9-inch square pan. Spread the oat mixture into the pan, pressing down gently to create an even layer. Allow the bars to cool to room temperature, then cover the pan and chill it in the refrigerator for 1 hour until set.
Notes
- Use creamy peanut butter for the best texture and binding.
- Old-fashioned oats are recommended over quick oats for better structure.
- Pressing the mixture firmly into the pan helps the bars hold together.
- Store the bars in the refrigerator to keep them firm and fresh.
- Optional: Add mix-ins like chocolate chips, dried fruits, or nuts for extra flavor and texture.
