I'm excited to share my recipe for these easy no-bake peanut butter oat bars. They're a healthy and inexpensive alternative to store-bought snacks, and they're perfect for mornings, afternoons, and evenings. These bars are packed with protein, making them an excellent option for an on-the-go meal.
These bars are easy to make, and they only require a few simple ingredients. You'll need natural peanut butter, honey, pure vanilla extract, oats, and skim milk. If you don't have skim milk, you can use any other type of milk, such as almond milk or soy milk. I use regular rolled oats, but you can use any type of oats you like.
To make the bars, simply melt the peanut butter and honey together in a saucepan over low heat. Once the peanut butter and honey are melted, remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Then, add the oats and skim milk and mix until well combined. Press the mixture into an 8x8 inch baking pan and freeze for at least 1 hour before cutting into bars. The bars can be stored in the freezer or refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
These no-bake peanut butter oat bars are a delicious and healthy snack that are perfect for busy families. They're easy to make, and they're a great way to get your kids to eat their oats. I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as my family does!
Step-by-step
- If needed, melt peanut butter with honey on stove or in microwave until easy to stir.
- Mix in vanilla, oats and skim milk until thoroughly combined. (Add enough milk so mixture isn't dry.)
- Line an 8 x 8 glass or metal pan with foil, then press peanut butter oat mixture evenly into the pan.
- Freeze for 1 hour before cutting into 8 bars.
- Store bars in freezer or refrigerator. If freezing, you might want to let your bars thaw out a bit before eating.
