Hello everybody! I’ve got some peanut-buttery goodness for you today! Homemade peanut butter bars! Shoutout to our New Hampshire friends who sent us the amazing maple syrup that I used in this recipe! In addition to the maple syrup, our ingredients include rolled oats (Bob’s Red Mill, of course), vanilla extract, sea salt, cinnamon, peanut butter (obviously), and brown rice syrup. If you can’t find brown rice syrup as I couldn’t, Agave nectar is a perfectly acceptable substitute.
To start, preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a 8 x 8 baking pan with parchment paper. You can see by the above photo how well that went.
In a pot, mix the peanut butter, agave, and maple syrup on low heat, stirring with a fork until the mixture is smooth.
Add the rolled oats, the sea salt, the cinnamon, and the vanilla extract and mix everything together well.
Spoon the mixture onto the parchment paper (good luck with that). Even it out over the bottom of the pan.
Bake at 350 for 18 minutes or until the edges are brown. Allow it to cool and cut it into bars. Mine didn’t quite make it into bars, more like pieces, but it still tasted amazing!!!
Enjoy these granola bars that don’t have preservatives or added sugar or any of the other crap you get from store-bought!
