These Peanut Butter Oat Bars only have 3 ingredients and they are a healthy snack or dessert. Kids will love grabbing them on their way out the door or as an after school snack. They also make a quick on-the-go breakfast. Best part: it’s a no-bake dessert.
I am most often trying to get my kids to eat healthy snacks and treats. Most of the time. But it can be hard to make something that is:
A. healthy
B. yummy
and
C. kid friendly
These Peanut Butter Oat Bars fit all those categories. Because you can make a healthy treat that tastes like cardboard, grass, dirt or feet. Kids can be the hardest critics to please when it comes to food. Mine loved these bars. So go ahead and make them and don’t worry about the guilt of junk food. Plus you can use any nut butter you like. Peanut allergies? Just use almond butter. They also make a quick on-the-go breakfast. Best part: it’s a no-bake dessert.
- 1 cup peanut butter
- ½ cup honey
- 3 cups oats
- Line a 9x9 square pan with foil and spray with non-stick cooking spray.
- Place the honey and peanut butter in a microwave safe bowl and heat for one minute; stir until smooth.
- Place oats into a large bowl. Pour peanut butter mixture over them and stir until combined.
- Press into the pan.
- Refrigerate to set.

This look so good. I eat granola bars almost everyday, these are probably more cost effective as well!
