Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Natural peanut butter (unsalted, no added sugar)
- 0.75 cup Honey
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 cup Rolled oats
- 0.5 cup Almond flour
- 0.5 cup Dark chocolate chips (optional low sodium or semi-sweet)
Instructions
Line an 8x8-inch square baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the sides for easy removal.
In a saucepan over low heat, melt the unsalted butter until completely liquefied.
Once melted, add the natural peanut butter and honey to the saucepan. Stir continuously until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate large bowl, combine the rolled oats and almond flour. Mix well.
Pour the peanut butter mixture over the dry ingredients in the large bowl. Stir until everything is evenly coated and the mixture starts to come together.
If using chocolate chips, fold them into the mixture at this stage.
Press the mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish using a spatula to smooth the top.
Chill the bars in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or until firm and set.
Once set, lift the bars from the dish using the parchment overhang and cut into 12 equal pieces.
Enjoy immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
