These peanut butter oatmeal bars are so delicious and so easy to make. They require no baking, which means that once you mix the mixture in a bowl, you simply spread in a baking glass and refrigerate until set. The bars are not dry or warm, but on the moist and cooler side. They also hold well together which is nice. I don’t like to make granola bars that break into million pieces.

They make a great snack for both adults and children. Since it contains an allergen, it’s probably not a snack to pack for the lunch box but it can be enjoyed as a healthy after school snack.

What’s in the Bars?

• Rolled Oats (choose gluten-free if you are sensitive to gluten)
• Organic, creamy peanut butter
• Local honey (don’t get the cheap commercial honey, it’s not healthy and not real honey)
• Cinnamon
• Pink salt

Healthy, right? You’ll love them.

Peanut Butter Allergy?

Switch for almond butter. If there is a nut allergy, use a seed butter like sunflower seed butter.

About Peanut Butter

Did you know that peanut butter was not a nut but a legume? It’s very nutritious. It’s a good source of protein (not complete though) and healthy fats. Do not use regular, commercial peanut butter, which has additives, refined salt and low quality ingredients. That kind isn’t good for you. Instead, invest in a good quality, organic one. I like the brand Nuts to You or MaraNatha. You can also make your own in some health food stores, which is a great choice too.
