Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 cup creamy peanut butter (no sugar added, or sunflower butter for nut free)
1/2 cup honey (or agave syrup* for vegan)
4 cups Old Fashioned rolled oats
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Steps:

  • Mix together all the ingredients in a bowl until it forms a sticky dough. If the mixture is dry and not sticky, add a bit more honey and/or peanut butter; different peanut butter brands perform differently here.
  • Add a sheet of parchment paper to a 9 x 9 pan. Place the ingredients in the pan and press it into an even layer. Use a small glass to roll over the top to get it smooth.
  • Freeze the bars for 15 minutes. Remove the pan from the freezer and use the parchment to lift it out of the pan. Cut into 16 squares or 32 rectangles. Store refrigerated for up to 2 weeks. You can eat right away, or refrigerate for about 1 hour for a more solid texture.

Tips:

  • Using a food processor or blender will make the oat mixture smoother and easier to work with.
  • Be sure to measure the oats correctly. Too much oats will make the bars dry and crumbly.
  • If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of vinegar or lemon juice to 1 cup of regular milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the bars tough.
  • Be careful not to overbake the bars. They should be golden brown around the edges but still soft in the center.
  • Let the bars cool completely before cutting them. This will help them hold their shape.

Conclusion:

Oatmeal marble bars are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or snack. They're also a great way to use up leftover oats.
