Author Sonja

Ingredients

  • 4 cups old fashioned oats gluten-free if needed
  • 1 cup honey use agave for vegan *see note below
  • 3/4 cup natural peanut butter *see note below
  • 1/2 cup peanuts
  • optional 3 T TriMix (1 T Wheat Germ, 1 T Wheat Bran, 1 T Oat Bran) omit for g-f
  • optional 1 T each of ground flax seed, hemp seeds, chia seeds
  • optional 1/4 cup peanut butter chips or chocolate chips
  • *now I make the recipe with 3/4 cup of honey and 1 cup of peanut butter

Instructions

  1. Grease the bottom and sides 9x13 pan well.
  2. Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
  3. Combine all ingredients VERY well in a bowl. Use an electric mixer if possible like a Kitchen Aid Mixer.
  4. Mash the granola bars into the pan well. This is the most important step!! If you don't mash it, they won't hold together well. We use a potato masher to solidify this peanut butter goodness.
  5. Bake for 17 minutes or until the edges barely start browning.
  6. Cool for 10 minutes, and cut into bars.
  7. Store in a cool dry place for up to a month.
