Equipment

  • small saucepan
  • 9-inch square pan
  • Spatula

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 3/4 cup honey
  • 3 cups old-fashioned oats

Instructions
 

Heat the peanut butter and honey:

  • Combine the peanut butter and honey in a small saucepan. Warm over medium-low heat, stirring constantly until the mixture is smooth and fully integrated, about 3–5 minutes.

Mix in the oats:

  • Take the pan off the heat and immediately fold in the oats. Stir thoroughly so every oat flake is coated and no dry patches remain.

Press and set the bars:

  • Grease a 9-inch square pan or line it with parchment. Transfer the oat mixture to the pan and press it down firmly and evenly with a spatula or the back of a spoon.
  • Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature, then cover and chill for at least 1 hour to firm up. Slice into 9 bars and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
