This is a bar recipe I found on a health and fitness site. The original recipe made it a protein bar, but when I made it (ages ago) I didn't have any so I left it out. If you want to make it a protein bar simply add 2 cups of protein powder and add an extra 1/2 cup of honey. This is a good bar for straight after an intense workout, but it tastes like a dessert so even if you're not active you can make it just as a snack bar or treat.

16 bars (change servings and units)

Ingredients

1 cup natural-style peanut butter
1 cup honey
3 cups dry uncooked old-fashioned oatmeal

Directions

1
Combine peanut butter and honey in a large nonstick pot and warm up over a low heat until runny and mixed.
2
Mix in the oatmeal (and protein powder if using).
3
You don't want to cook it, just heat it up enough to stir everything together nicely.
4
Press into a 9x9-inch pan.
5
Let cool, then cut into 16 equal bars.
6
Wrap each bar in foil and store in plastic bags. - No need to refrigerate as the ingredients are natural.

This is a favorite in our house, my toddler loves these, and so does my husband. I wrap them in tinfoil and keep them in the fridge in a ziplock for easy grab and go. I also add about a cup of dried sweetened cranberries to the mix, and they are divine. My husband has begged me to add chocolate chips to the mix, and I might try that next. Thank you!

My husband loves it when I make these. He eats then with apple slices for a perfect afternoon snack.

These have become a staple in our house. They're so easy to put together and I love that I know all the ingredients in them, unlike the energy bars in the store. I do cut the honey down to 5/8 cup because I don't like them too sweet and because we like the firm chewy texture they have with less honey. I also add 1/2 cup of ground flax seeds. I keep them individually wrapped in the fridge for on on-the-go snack, but have no problem with them at room temperature when we grab them for later - they're just not as firm then. We like them better than store-bought, and I haven't tried adding protein powder or other mix-ins yet because they're such a hit this way!
