Peanut Butter & Honey Granola Bars

September 4, 2014 by Natalie

Granola Bars from Let's Get Together

The upside of these homemade granola bars? They’re amazing. They’re easy. You’ll know exactly what’s going into those little (or big!) lunchboxes-and it’s nothing you can’t pronounce.

The downside? Well, your kids (OR YOUR HUSBAND!) might decide they’re simply no longer willing to eat store-bought granola bars. Ever. Again.

Which is not a terrible thing-it’s just not my favorite thing in the world to be making granola bars at 11:00 at night to fill those little (big!) lunchboxes. (Who am I kidding. We are early bedtime people. 9:00 at night…)

But really.
They’re awesome.
And I love that they don’t have any sugar or chemical-ish ingredients.

Ingredients
  1. 1 c. peanut butter (we like crunchy! it adds great texture but creamy works just as well)
  2. 2/3 c. honey
  3. 2 1/2 c. old-fashioned oats
  4. 1/2 c. whole wheat flour
  5. 1/2 c. sliced almonds (optional)
  6. 1/2 c. unsweetened applesauce
  7. 2 t. cinnamon (optional)
Instructions
  1. Heat the peanut butter and honey in a small saucepan on low heat until they're melted down and mixed. (Be careful to not burn!)
  2. Combine oats, almonds, flour, and cinnamon (if using) and mix in a large bowl.
  3. Pour the honey and peanut butter mix into the large bowl of dry ingredients.
  4. Add the applesauce and stir everything together.
  5. Prep a 13x9 pan by lining it with aluminum foil and using a non-stick spray on the foil.
  6. Evenly spread granola mix into the pan.
  7. Bake for 20 minutes at 350 degrees (or watch until it starts to turn golden).
  8. Let cool before cutting into bars.
Notes
  1. Feel free to add extra almonds or toss in craisins or omit the cinnamon. Make them yours!!
  2. In a 13x9 pan, for kids, you could easily get 16 bars. When I'm making these for my husband's lunches, I cut them a little bigger and get 12 bars out of a pan. After cutting, I wrap them up in plastic wrap or stick them in snack baggies to store them.

TIP: You might want to come to some kind of alternative granola bar arrangement before you start making these. Just a thought, ya know. So you’re not making granola bars late into the night like me…

    Hi! I just wanted to let you know that I absolutely LOVE this recipe. I always have a pan made at my house and it has become an all-time fav for my husband (and anyone else who has been to our house lately). I share your recipe with all my friends! I like to add either blueberries or dark chocolate chunks. 🙂 thanks for being awesome!
