No-Bake Peanut Butter Oat Bars

I'm personally a big fan of skipping steps (i.e., saving time) in the kitchen, so I'm excited to share these new No-Bake Peanut Butter Oat Bars with you today that my girls absolutely LOVE. You can whip them up in about 10 minutes for a delicious, healthy snack.

Ingreadient

• 1 ½ cups peanut butter (could sub sunflower seed or almond butter for those with allergies)
• 6 tablespoons pure maple syrup (can sub honey)
• 1 cup oats (purchase “gluten-free” oats for those with allergies)
• 1 cup puffed rice cereal (Arrowhead Mills is a good option or you can sub more oats)

Step by step

1. Line an 8 x 8 inch square baking dish with wax or parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, stir together the peanut butter and maple syrup until it’s mixed together thoroughly.
3. Pour in the oats and cereal and stir with a rubber spatula until well combined.
4. Spread the bar mixture into one even layer in the bottom of the pan. Refrigerate for at least one hour. Cut and serve or store in the fridge.
