Healthy Oat Bars
Simple, wholesome bars made with oats, peanut butter, and honey, perfect for a quick and nutritious snack.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 cups old-fashioned or quick-cooking rolled oats
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter (natural recommended)
- 1/4 cup honey
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly grease an 8-inch square baking dish with cooking spray.
- In a medium bowl, combine the oats, peanut butter, and honey. Stir until the mixture is fully blended and sticky.
- Spread the mixture evenly into the greased baking dish, pressing down firmly to help the bars hold together.
Baking
- Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the oats begin to toast around the edges and the top turns lightly golden.
- Let the bars cool completely before slicing into squares.
Storage
- Store in an airtight container.
Notes
Add a pinch of cinnamon or vanilla extract for extra warmth and flavor. For firmer bars, chill before slicing. Want a crunchy topping? Sprinkle chopped peanuts on top before baking. These bars freeze well—wrap individually for easy grab-and-go snacks.
