Ingredients

The following ingredients have 8 Servings
  • 2 1/2 cups rolled oats
  • 1 1/4 cup whole wheat pastry flour (or oat flour -- see Tips & Tricks below)
  • 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup coconut oil (melted)
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1 egg (lightly beaten)
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup peanut butter (crunchy or creamy)
  • 1/4 cup chopped peanuts

Instruction

  • Arrange oven rack in center position and preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 9- by 13-inch baking dish with coconut oil or softened butter, or coat with non-stick cooking spray.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the oats, flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Stir in the coconut oil, honey, egg, and vanilla. Add the peanut butter and mix until well combined.
  • Scrape the batter into prepared baking dish and smooth the top so that it's an even thickness. Sprinkle with chopped peanuts and lightly press into the surface. Bake for 18 to 22 minutes or until the edges just start to turn golden brown. Allow to cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing into bars.
  • Cool completely and store in an airtight container.
