Serves
12
- 1 cup very smooth creamy natural peanut butter (MaraNatha)
- 2/3 cup honey
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- 2 1/2 cups of whole rolled oats
- 1/3 cup mini chocolate chips
- 1.5 tbsp crushed peanuts
- 1.5 tbsp crushed cashews
Steps
- Line a baking pan with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, mix the dry ingredients together: oats, salt, peanuts, cashews.
- In a large bowl, mix the wet ingredients together: peanut butter, honey and vanilla.
- Combine the contents of both bowls. The mixture might seem dry at first, but keep stirring and it’ll come together.
- Stir to combine and press firmly into the pan. Use a second piece of parchment paper and the back of a measuring cup to help flatten the mixture. Chill for at least 1 hour, then slice into bars.
- Store bars as-is in the freezer. Optionally, remove the parchment paper and wrap each bar individually in aluminium foil for easier storage and eating.
Notes
- A bit more whole rolled oats might make the bars a little less sticky but they’re going to be sticky no matter what.
