Oatmeal Peanut Butter Bars

Followed suggestions to increase butter to 1/2 cup, subbed dried cherries for the raisins and honey for the corn syrup. No need to look for a better recipe — this one is it!

Very good! And easily customizable

Just made a batch of these yummy smelling ,looking bars and they are great easy to assemble

So good! Made these for a road trip, and I’ll make them again!

Didn’t have corn syrup so i used some honey. Almost too sweet.

Easy, versatile recipe, it lasted 2 days. My daughter who doesn’t like raisins or coconut liked it. I made it with soy butter so it would be nutfree for school. I found it too sweet and will cut the sugar next time.

I left out the chocolate but otherwise made it as directed. They taste so good, and the kitchen smelled terrific. The texture was a bit crumbly for me but ok. I suggest stirring in the oats perhaps 1/3 at a time.to make sure it’s mixed in well. Otherwise, it goes together very easily. My husband loved these.

I managed to find most of the ingredients in my pantry 3 weeks into shelter-in-place for Covid 19, so this was a treat for us!!! Used honey instead of syrup, l didn’t have coconut, sunflowers seeds or dried fruit, but used chopped cashews with the chocolate chips and peanut butter. They were delicious warm- very soft and yummy!!

These were so delectable that they barely made it into the oven. I did make some changes. I didn’t have corn syrup so used honey as suggested by several of the other comments. I eliminated the sunflower seeds and chocolate chips. I added sliced almonds some cinnamon and half a cup of applesauce.

Delicious! Followed the recipe except substituted walnuts for the sunflower seeds. Will make again and again!

I use a 15 oz jar of no stir natural crunchy peanut butter, 1/2 cup of dark brown sugar, 2 tablespoons of coconut oil and 2-3 tablespoons of cocoa. Dump all these in a large ceramic bowl that i place on the keep warm burner of the stove for a couple minutes (instead of using the microwave). Add in 3.5 cups of oats (quick or old fashioned) a couple teaspoons of flax seeds, handful of dark chocolate chips, mix it all with a large spoon, dump it in a brownie pan lined with plastic wrap, level and refrigerate for about 1-2 hours, Cut it up on squares and wrap them individually, keep them in the fridge and use instead of store bought bars.

Delicious. Used honey instead of corn syrup and pumpkin seeds and dried cranberries instead of raisins and sunflower seeds. Turned out awesome!

Chewy goodness. I used honey instead of corn syrup and dried cranberries instead of raisins. I’d lessen the brown sugar next time, as my peanut butter and berries were sweet. A keeper for the recipe box.

I did not make any changes. I loved it and will make again!

I will definitely make it again and it was very tasty!

I always follow a new recipe exactly the first time around. The fact that I had to turn over the stirring chore to my Lady warned me that the mix was simply too dry (I have a huge tendinitis problem. I know, WAAAH). The bars came out very stiff and very crumbly. Oh, and they were delicious! We will eat the piles of debris with a spoon if necessary and I will likely adjust the amount of oats next time.

What a good base for a granola bar. Dump the corn syrup for honey and molasses . Use a bit of coconut oil too.

really good but very sweet-more like dessert, could make with less honey (1/4c) and unsweet coconut. I added flaxseeds. Cooked 20 min, were pretty gooey but set up once in fridge. Keep in fridge.

These came out delicious! I’m in Australia and didn’t have corn syrup so I substituted golden syrup instead. I used about 25% more peanut butter and added probably 1/2 cup of sliced almonds and 1/2 cup pecans– which I put in a fry pan for 2 minutes to toast before using. Due to adding the nuts, I only used 2.5 cups oats, as I didn’t want it to be too dry. Also used roasted salted pumpkin seeds instead of sunflower seeds and added a cup of reese’s peanut butter chips. Baked for 20 minutes with fan forced oven (that’s what they call convection in Australia) as I wanted them to stay soft and chewy, and that worked out perfectly. I think you can just add or omit what you’ve got on hand! Very yummy.

came out great as is! Will be making over & over. Thank you!

These were awesome! The only change I made was I used light corn syrup to hold down on the sweetness. Thank you very much for the recipe, definitely a keeper!
