Ingredients
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- 1/3 cup peanut butter
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon ground
- 2 cups oats
- 1/2 cup honey roasted peanuts chopped
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 300 F.
- Line an 8 x 8 pan with parchment paper, making sure the parchment paper hangs over the sides.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, add honey, coconut oil and peanut butter. Microwave for 30 seconds, stir until mixture gets runny and peanut butter completely melted in. You may have to heat for another 20 seconds or so. Mix in vanilla extract and cinnamon.
- Add oats and peanuts, mix until everything is combined and the mixture is completely coated with honey and peanut butter mixture.
- Pour mixture into prepared pan and press down with a back of a spoon; bake in the oven for 20 -25 minutes until lightly brown.
- Once you take the bars out of the oven, press down with the back of a spoon to ensure the oats are pressed firmly together. Let the oat bars cool slightly and carefully take out bars by grabbing onto the parchment paper and cut into 16 slices. Let bars cool completely and harden at room temperature.
- Store bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
- Makes 16 bars.
