Three ingredient no bake pb oat bars!

can't wait to make this

Made these last night, the only thing I changed from the three ingredients is that I added a grated square of semi-sweet bakers chocolate to the mix.

Here are my thoughts:

Very easy to make, but you have to have strong willpower if you do make them for a few reasons. The first is there is nothing like the taste of melted peanut butter and honey from the pot. It is a Winnie the Pooh fantasy. Second the pieces are kinda small. They aren't tiny, but they aren't huge either. If you eat the first one fast you could easily go for a second quickly. At 250+ calories having two is not a good idea. With the size in mind let me say they may not be huge but if you take your time and enjoy it they will keep you full (kept me from breakfast to lunch). So it isn't the size that counts it's how you use it.

Overall very tasty breakfast for when I don't have time to make any.

Made them last night and decided that I need to lower the amount of honey, it was a bit to sweet for me and I like sweets. :-) Otherwise, good food!

I ended up making these over this past weekend, but I used almond butter instead of peanut butter. It is pretty sweet but the biggest thing I found is that they don't hold up their "bar" form, they are a bit gooey?? It might be the natural almond butter's oils so maybe cutting back on that to about 3/4 a cup would work, or adding a protein powder?

Anyone else have this happen?

I've made this the original way the poster posted and loved it, so my husband and I doubled the recipe added about 4 Tblsps of dark chocolate unsweetened powder and sprinkled some dark chocolate chips on top. They taste just like the no bake cookies my mom used to make! I agree they can be high calorie, but we also found a little goes a long way. We eat about a 2 oz bar of them after dinner for dessert. My 3 and 5 yo love them too! I really like them both ways though. This will definitely stay in our recipe rotation. Thank you for sharing. Next time we make them we will be weighing the empty pan first then weighing it filled up so we can get an accurate gram for gram calorie count.

Bump.

do you think this would work with quick oats?

It may work but won't have the same texture.

I have a recipe similar and I add 1/3 cup flax seeds.

Sounds good!

This sounds so good! Thanks!

Definitely a keeper. Might try adding some cereal or something.. Cheerios maybe? Endless possibilities!

Yum.....bump

This is probably a stupid question, but the oats are pre-cooked, right? Wasn't mention by the author. Thanks!
