6 ingredient easy peanut butter oat bar

You are going to love these peanut butter oat bar, they are easy and absolutely delicious. Who doesn’t like nut butter ?!

Granola bars are often considered a healthy snack and in some cases, I think granola bars can be a good source of fiber and protein to help curb cravings between meals. Many people consider them to be convenient and they enjoy their flavor and versatility. Unfortunately despite marketing claims, many packed granola bars are loaded with added sugar, calories, and artificial ingredients. Those are ingredients that you probably won’t be able to pronounce! ( hint 😉). Therefore, I try to avoid them whenever possible, and with this recipe, you are on a road to healthy snacking!

These peanut butter oat bars are pretty easy to make at home. You have control of what is going into them and you can create endless varieties of flavors. Oats and peanut butter together make a very filling combination that will keep you full pretty well into lunchtime! If you are a meal planner like me it is easy to include them on the list! ✌

I can guarantee they will be your NEW FAVORITE no-bake peanut butter oat bar for 4 reasons:

• crunchy peanut butter.
• can be easy made allergy driendly if you swap peanut butter for tahini or seed butter like sunflower or pumpkin!
• no baking involved! You just throw your ingredients into a food processor.
• you can eat it right away.( I like them cool out of the fridge tough, and they get firmer too).

Frequently Asked Questions:

How do I store these cookie dough bars?

I put them in a Tupperware and store them in a fridge. Alternatively, if you happen not to eat them in a week or two (very unlikely 😉) you can cover them and store them in the freezer. They should last in a freezer for at least a month if not longer.

Can I substitute nut butter?

As I said above you can easily substitute nut butter for tahini or seed butter. There are many tahini’s on the market I find that the runny tahini works better here. My favorite brand is Al Yaman. This tahini is super creamy, runny, and absolutely delish! I tried a good few brands and I keep coming back to this one every single time.

• Oats are rich in carbs and fiber, but also higher in protein and fat than most other grains. They are very high in many vitamins and minerals.
• Oatmeal is a whole grain. Therefore oats are processed in a way that doesn’t strip off the nutritious bran or germ, so you get all of that whole-grain goodness. In other words, even though oatmeal is processed in different ways (like “steel cut” and “old fashioned”) they all maintain the bran and germ.
