Description
Delicious and healthy homemade peanut butter granola bars, perfect for breakfast or a snack.
Ingredients
- 3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats (use verified gluten-free, if needed)
- 3/4 cup natural peanut butter
- 1/3 cup honey or maple syrup
- 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips (optional)
- 2 whole eggs (use flax egg for vegan-friendly)
- Optional add-ins: pinch of salt, walnuts, pecans, almonds, chia, sunflower or pumpkin seeds, dried fruit
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350℉.
- In a large bowl, combine all the ingredients and mix well. If your peanut butter is too solid, heat it for 10-15 seconds to make it easier to mix.
- Line a 9×9 inch baking dish or pan with parchment paper.
- Transfer the mixture to your prepared dish or pan. Press the mixture down firmly and evenly.
- If you’re using chocolate chips, sprinkle them on top and press them down into the mixture.
- Bake for 15-17 minutes or until the center is baked through and the edges start to brown. Check them after 14 minutes.
- Once baked, cool the pan on a cooling rack.
- Let the bars cool completely before cutting them into 16 squares with a sharp knife.
Notes
Press the mixture firmly for better bar cohesion. Customize add-ins to fit your preferences.
