Peanut Buttery Bars

June 17, 2009

Holy peanut butter!

These soft and chewy bars are jam-packed with peanut buttery flavor. They’re also a tad on sweet side thanks to a healthy portion of agave nectar. The old fashioned oats give the bars a nice, thick texture.

The best part about these Peanut Buttery Bars is that they only require 5 ingredients (chocolate chips optional) and take just 20 minutes to make- start to finish.

Makes 12 bars

Ingredients:

  • 1.5 cups old fashioned oats
  • 1/2 all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup agave nectar
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 cup smooth peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional)

Directions:

  • Preheat oven to 350*F degrees. Spray 8-inch square baking pan with non-stick cooking spray.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine ingredients until smooth.
  • Spread batter in prepared baking pan, and bake for approximately 15-18 minutes until the top of the bars begin to brown.
  • Let bars cool completely in pan before cutting.

Each bar has approximately 137 calories (without chocolate chips).


Spring it!

These look like a great replacement for my favorite dessert: Peanut Butter Cornflake Bars. My recipe calls for lots of corn syrup and corn flakes. I’m thinking old fashioned oats and agave nectar are a better idea!

Love your book, btw. I’m working my way through your recipes. The granola is a hit – I like to eat it in a bowl as a topping to one tablespoon of peanut butter and sliced bananas. Oh my. Your Mediterranean salad is simple and delicious, too. Thank you!
