NATURAL NO-BAKE PEANUT BUTTER ENERGY BARS.



Natural No-Bake Peanut Butter Energy Bars. image

This is a bar recipe I found on a health and fitness site. The original recipe made it a protein bar, but when I made it (ages ago) I didn't have any so I left it out. If you want to make it a protein bar simply add 2 cups of protein powder and add an extra 1/2 cup of honey. This is a good bar for straight after an intense workout, but it tastes like a dessert so even if you're not active you can make it just as a snack bar or treat.

Provided by Dana Angelo White, M.S., R.D., A.T.C.

Time 1h15m

Yield 14 bars

Number Of Ingredients 15

Cooking spray
1/2 cup honey
1/2 cup natural creamy peanut butter
2 tablespoons maple syrup
1 tablespoon canola oil
1/4 cup light brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups rolled oats
2 cups crisp brown rice cereal
1/4 cup toasted wheat germ
1/2 cup chopped roasted peanuts
1/2 cup chopped dried apricots
1/2 cup chopped dried figs
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

Steps:

  • Spray a 9 by 13-inch baking dish with cooking spray and set aside.
  • In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine honey, peanut butter, maple syrup, canola oil, brown sugar, cinnamon. Stir and cook until mixture just begins to bubble, about 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract.
  • In a large bowl, combine oats, rice cereal, wheat germ, peanuts, apricots, figs and salt.
  • Pour peanut butter mixture over oatmeal mixture and stir gently with a spatula until well combined. Transfer to baking dish, cover with parchment paper and press firmly into dish. Allow to cool completely (will cool faster in the refrigerator). Cut into squares or bars.

Tips:

  • Use quick-cooking oats. This will help the bars set more quickly and evenly.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the bars tough.
  • Press the batter firmly into the pan. This will help the bars hold together better.
  • Chill the bars for at least 30 minutes before cutting. This will make them easier to handle and cut.
  • Store the bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

Conclusion:

These oatmeal peanut butter energy bars are a delicious and healthy snack that are perfect for on-the-go. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. Whether you are looking for a quick breakfast, a post-workout snack, or a healthy dessert, these bars are sure to hit the spot.
