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. Place over medium-low heat and cook, stirring continuously until the mixture is melted and blended smoothly together.
- Combine with Oats: Remove the saucepan from heat and immediately stir in the old-fashioned oats until they are thoroughly coated with the peanut butter and honey mixture.
- Spread and Chill: Grease a 9-inch square baking pan lightly. Spread the oat mixture evenly into the pan and press it down lightly to create an even layer. Allow it to cool to room temperature, then cover the pan and chill in the refrigerator for 1 hour to set properly.
Notes
- Use creamy peanut butter for a smoother texture or chunky if you prefer more crunch.
- Ensure you press the mixture evenly in the pan for consistent bars.
- Store the bars in the refrigerator to keep them firm and fresh longer.
- These bars can be customized by adding chocolate chips, dried fruit, or nuts if desired.
