Ingredients
- 2 cups old-fashioned or quick-cooking rolled oats
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter (natural peanut butter works well)
- ¼ cup honey
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease an 8-inch (20 cm) square baking dish and set it 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, pressing it down firmly so the top is level.
- Bake for 12–15 minutes (or up to 20 minutes depending on your oven) until the edges begin to toast and the top turns light golden brown.
- Remove from oven and allow to cool completely in the dish.
- Once cooled, cut into 9 bars and serve or store as desired.
Notes
- Use crunchy peanut butter for added texture.
- Substitute peanut butter with almond or sunflower seed butter for allergy-friendly versions.
- Add-ins like nuts, seeds, dried fruit, or chocolate chips can enhance flavor and nutrition.
- Drizzle with melted chocolate after baking for a more indulgent option.
- Reduce honey slightly for a less sweet version.
