Ingredients

  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • ⅔-¾ cup maple syrup
  • 3 cups old fashioned oats
Makes: 8 x 8inch rectangle

Instructions

  • Place the 1 cup creamy peanut butter and ⅔-¾ cup maple syrup in a medium to large sauce pan. Cook over medium-low heat until the peanut butter is melted and everything is combined.
  • Stir in 3 cups old fashioned oats.
  • Grease an 8-inch square pan or line it with parchment or wax paper. Spread the warm peanut butter mixture into the pan.
  • Allow to set for several hours. Then cut into squares and serve. The bars will be soft and a bit gooey at first, but the texture will change into more of a chewy granola bar texture as they sit.
  • Store in an airtight container at room temperature.

Notes

  • Adjust the maple syrup depending on how sweet you want your bars to be.
  • Feel free to add a pinch of salt if you want. 
  • Honey works as a great alternative to maple syrup.
