Peanut Butter Granola Bars

Ever wake up in the morning and can't decide what you want to eat? 


You don't have to do that anymore!


Here is your Go-To breakfast snack. Your kiddos will love this! You will love this!! 


The best part about this recipe is that you can make it AHEAD of time and eat it all through the week! SCORE!




Recipe: (original recipe from How Sweet Eats)

4 cups rolled oats

1/2 cup unsalted peanuts, chopped

3/4 cup natural peanut butter, melted

1/2 cup brown rice syrup (honey works too!) *I did not have honey one time and I used Kayro Syrup~worked just as well.

Add Ins: Raisins, Chocolate chips, walnuts, flaxseed, dried fruit, coconut

How To:

Preheat over to 350.

In a large bowl, combine oats and peanuts. Add brown rice syrup (or honey) and mix to combine. Add melted peanut butter and mix until moistened. This works as a simple granola bar, but you can also throw in any add-ins at this time. 

Fold them into the dough. You may need to get in there with your hands and work the granola dough! If dough is still too dry (this can depend on your ingredients) add more peanut butter or syrup (or honey) 1 tablespoon at a time until moistened.

Press dough in a greased (non-stick spray) 9 x 13 baking dish. Bake for 25 minutes.

If you want to make no-bakes, simply press the dough into the pan and refrigerate for 60 minutes.

The results:

I baked these into bars, then crumbled about half and put it in a bag to pour over yogurt! oh, Heavens! 

These freeze really well, so if you don't eat all of it in the first few days, stick it in the freezer for up to several weeks!

No picture at the moment, but I PROMISE one is coming soon!! 

Now that you have this recipe, you can focus on more important things in the mornings...like how to get your son's hair to lie flat.
