Ingredients
  

  • 2.5 cups Old-fashioned rolled oats Use certified gluten-free if needed.
  • 1 cup Creamy peanut butter Conventional brands like Jif or Skippy work best.
  • 1/2 cup Honey Can be substituted with maple syrup for a vegan option.
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt

Equipment

  • 1 8x8 inch baking pan
  • 1 Saucepan
  • Parchment Paper

Method
 

  1. Line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal.
  2. In a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, combine the peanut butter and honey. Stir continuously until the mixture is completely melted and smooth. Avoid letting it bubble or boil.
  3. Remove the pan from the heat. Stir in the vanilla extract and salt. Add the rolled oats to the saucepan and mix with a spatula until all the oats are evenly coated.
  4. Transfer the oat mixture into the prepared pan. Press down very firmly and evenly with a spatula or your hands to compact the mixture. This step is crucial for helping the bars hold their shape.
  5. Refrigerate for at least 30-60 minutes, or until the bars are firm to the touch.
  6. Once chilled and firm, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the bars out of the pan. Place on a cutting board and slice into 12 even bars. Serve immediately or store for later.
