Description
No-bake oatmeal bars made with peanut butter and honey, offering a customizable, family-friendly snack. These perfectly balanced bars are chunky, chewy, and ready in minutes with just five simple ingredients.
Ingredients
1 cup Creamey peanut butter – use no-sugar-added or substitute with sunflower butter
½ cup honey – swap for agave syrup for vegan version
4 cups Old Fashioned oats – quick oats will make bars too dense
½ tsp kosher salt – balances sweetness perfectly
½ tsp cinnamon – optional for warmth
Instructions
Whisk peanut butter and honey in a large bowl until smooth
Add oats, salt, and cinnamon, mixing until fully incorporated
Adjust consistency by adding 1-2 tbsp additional honey if mixture is crumbly
Line 8×8″ or 9×9″ pan with parchment paper
Press dough firmly into pan using a small glass
Cool mixture in freezer to firm up
Freeze bars for 15 minutes before cutting
Cut into 16 squares or 32 rectangles
Refrigerate up to 2 weeks for firm texture
Notes
Use parchment paper for easy removal – cut it to fit the pan first
Measure peanut butter while the jar is at room temperature to avoid lumps
Freezing firms the bars without refrigeration needed
Try adding ½ cup chopped dates or raisins for extra sweetness
