Peanut Butter and Honey Oat Bars

March 8, 2013 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 26 Comments

Hey, hey, hey!  Happy Friday!!  Woohoo the weekend is here!!

How are things going?  Big plans for the weekend?  They say it’s suppose to be nice out, low 70’s, so I’m crossing my fingers.  I would love to go for a hike or something, but I know I shouldn’t do that and do some yard work instead.  Between the winter and my dogs, my yard is a mess and so full of weeds.  Ugh!!!  But at least I can prep my vegetable garden!!  I just have to figure out a way to keep my dogs out of it.  I have my garden fenced in, but my dog Sampson, tries to pull the vegetables through the fence and once he gets the taste of tomatoes, it’s all over. He tries and tries to get to the plants.  What’s even worse is we have sandy soil, so it’s super easy to dig up, meaning my dog digs a hole under the fence and goes under.  He is such work!!  I’m thinking we should put chicken wire around the fence and bury it in the ground, but some how I don’t think that will work, but it’s worth a shot.  Any suggestions?  But if you are doing yard work or hiking and you need some energy, I have the perfect snack for you.

Peanut Butter and Honey Oat Bars

These are my Peanut Butter and Honey Oat Bars.  My inspiration for this snack is the Nature Valley Honey Oat Bars.  I love those snack bars, but I wanted one with peanut butter and I wanted one that was natural, so I took the ingredients that I only wanted in my bar and whipped these together in a matter of minutes!

Peanut Butter and Honey Oat Bars


I made these bars with a few simple ingredients; honey, honey roasted peanuts, peanut butter, coconut oil, cinnamon and vanilla.  I heated the honey, coconut oil and peanut butter in a microwave safe bowl for 50 seconds total.  Added my vanilla, cinnamon, oats and peanuts; gave it a good mix and baked it for 25 minutes.  How easy is that?

Peanut Butter and Honey Oat Bars

These bars are so peanut buttery and sweet, with just the hint of cinnamon.  The honey roasted peanuts that I used are my favorite.  they are the same ones I use to make my peanut butter.  I buy them at Trader Joe’s.  If you like honey roasted peanuts you should pick up a bag at TJ’s.  I personally think they are the best nuts around!  Yes, I’ll say it, I like TJ’s nuts!  lol  Wow, two weeks in a row with nut jokes!  he he

The bars are not super crunchy bars, but pretty firm, but easy to bite and chew.  I originally wanted a hard bar, but after having a bite I realized that the texture was just right.  You do get a slight snap when you break it.  Plus an added bonus, I made these for my Husbands lunches and he informed me that the dentist told him to stay away from crunchy foods for a while, which makes these bars perfect for him!!  It’s a make me feel good snack that I can make for my family.

Total time

A natural, gluten-free oat bar filled with chopped nuts, peanut butter and sweetened with honey.
Serves: 16 Bars
Ingredients
  • ½ cup honey
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil
  • ⅓ cup peanut butter
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • ¼ tsp. cinnamon, ground
  • 2 cups oats (I used Trader Joe's Gluten Free Oats)
  • ½ cup chopped honey roasted peanuts
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 300 F
  2. Line an 8 x 8 pan with parchment paper, making sure the parchment paper hangs over the sides.
  3. In a microwave safe bowl, add honey, coconut oil and peanut butter. Microwave for 30 seconds, stir until mixture gets runny and peanut butter completely melted in. You may have to heat for another 20 seconds or so. Mix in vanilla extract and cinnamon.
  4. Add oats and peanuts, mix until everything is combined and the mixture is completely coated with honey and peanut butter mixture.
  5. Pour mixture into prepared pan and press down with a back of a spoon; bake in the oven for 20 -25 minutes until lightly brown.
  6. Once you take the bars out of the oven, press down with the back of a spoon to insure the oats are pressed firmly together. Let the oat bars cool slightly and carefully take out bars by grabbing onto the parchment paper and cut into 16 slices. Let bars cool completely and harden at room temperature.
  7. Store bars in an air tight container in the refrigerator.

Peanut Butter and Honey Oat Bars

I store these Oat Bars in the refrigerator in a sealed tight container.  I am not sure how they will do at room temperature, but honestly I think they would be fine.

Well my Friends, time to get rolling.  Time to make lunch!!

Have a wonderful weekend!!

Toodles,

Jennifer

P.S.  Don’t forget it’s time to move the clocks forward one hour this weekend.  Daylight savings time begins at 2:00 am on Sunday morning!  Yah more daylight!!!

    I love making homemade granola bars! I’ll be subbing almond or sunflower butter though……I’m allergic to peanuts! 🙂

    You have some wonderful recipes, but I will have to rely upon seeing them elsewhere, as the Facebook/Twitter/Google+ etc. thingy that intrudes into the post here is just maddening. In fact, it makes me feel downright unsociable.

    Happy cooking, and all the best for your future endeavors!

    Thanks,

Happy Wednesday! This past weekend I did a little Happy Wednesday! This past weekend I did a little furniture rearranging in my dining room. I decided to move my kitchen cart to the opposite side of my room, and I love it in its new spot. 
🍂
If you remember, I fixed the nail holes in this wall, so I could hang a normal picture. I love how centered my nail is. lol It’s the little things.
🍂
Now before anyone says anything. I covered my light switch with my picture. I never use it, so it doesn’t effect me. 
🍂
Speaking of pictures, how gorgeous is my sign from @krumpetshomedecor? It’s a fabulous size and I am calling it the moving sign. If you watched my reel last week, you will see that I used the spider side of the sign in my kitchen. I thought the fall side would be perfect in my dining room. Now I actually plan to move the sign again to my living room when I bring out the Fall bins. I have an idea in my head.
🍂
This little area of my home is what I am calling my transition from summer to fall. I have a little bit of rich end of summer colors with natural woods and my leaves. 
🍂
The falling leaves reversible sign is the Krumpets Home Decor deal of the week. Plus you get an additional 10% off with code: PBANDP. Link in my bio.
🍂
What is your favorite Fall color?
.
PS. I think I got the big C 🦠. So I’ll be slow getting back to you.

Hello Everyone! I have to apologize for not to get Hello Everyone! I have to apologize for not to getting to everyone’s comments yesterday. I am still working on them. I was a little overwhelmed yesterday. Typical Monday. Plus to boot my husband got the big “C”🦠 So I have been dealing with that.

I thought I would share with you a very simple way of styling a bowl. It would be beautiful on an entry, console or dining room table. The bowl is from the Targets Studio McGee line.

Hope you have the best day.

Happy Monday! I know this is not decor, but today Happy Monday! I know this is not decor, but today is Samuels 1st birthday. I couldn’t resist showing his first year on Earth.
🐾
If you remember, I didn’t want another dog when Sampson passed last August, but Samuel was a blessing in disguise. He has helped me heal. 
🐾
I will be back tomorrow with decor. Have a wonderful Monday!

Happy Wednesday! I have to tell you that I am so e Happy Wednesday! I have to tell you that I am so excited that we put the dog crate away. It took up so much room in the kitchen and now it looks so open. I just wish my kitchen was wide enough for an island.
👻
I didn’t lose my mind decorating for Halloween. However @krumpetshomedecor is having there Fall and Halloween launch. So much fun! The sign above the door is the Krumpets Home Decor deal of the week. It is a gorgeous one. I just love both sides. I used the Halloween side right now  because it matches my coffee bar. Plus I feel that way when people come to my home with my dogs. lol
👻
Also, the pillow and the Halloween sign on the side of the door is also from Krumpets Home Decor.

Now my kitchen just needs a rug. As I said yesterday my dogs eat rugs, so I’m looking for one to go in front of the door that dogs won’t have a desire to eat. Sheesh!

Happy Tuesday! I thought I would share one last lo Happy Tuesday! I thought I would share one last look at the guest bathroom before the Fall season arrives. Pretty soon it will be filled with pumpkins.
💙
I actually have not changed any of the decor in the bathroom since February of this year. I love how it looks and didn’t want to change it.
💙
The plants in the tub were in my living room, but with having puppies, they were eating them and they are poisonous, so I put them in the tub and they have survived and doing well.
💙
The rug on the floor is from @studiomoutdoor. It’s a vinyl rug that is so perfect for cleaning up after the dogs. Plus they don’t eat these rugs! Yes, they have eaten all the rugs in my house, except for the dining room rug. Sigh….
💙
Do you have a room in your house that you don’t want to redecorate because you like it the way it is?

Happy Monday! Boy this weekend flew by and I didn’t get much done around the house. Though I am slowly starting to put away some summer stuff. 
🍋
But before putting away the lemons, I had to do a summer tiered tray. I haven’t made a tiered tray in months. I love how light and bright it is. It matches my kitchen nicely.

Here are the sources for my tiered tray:

Happy Friday Eve! So happy it’s almost the weeke Happy Friday Eve! So happy it’s almost the weekend. This Saturday we have to take the dogs to the vet. Oh man! That’s a thing. The dogs drop dead on the driveway and refuse to go in the car. They do this going there and back. It’s a comedy scene, and so embarrassing. Not fun! lol
💙
I put together a little vignette for my kitchen counter. You are probably thinking, she always shares the kitchen. It’s because I do my day job at the kitchen counter and I get all these new ideas in my head and I just have to share. 
💙
I am loving the blue with the yellow and the green. It feels light and fresh. I also love my new candle from @candleberrycandle the scent is Bergamot Amber. It maybe my favorite scent from the collection. The scent is a mix of blue amber and oak with a vibrant burst of citrus and exotic florals. 
💙
Now through July 22nd Candleberry is having a pre-sale on the new Nouveau candle line. The official launch is August 1st. If you sign up for emails you get 15% off. 
💙
Disclosure: do not burn your candles under your cabinets. I did this to show the candle. I always burn my candles in an open area. 
💙
What are your weekend plans?

Happy Wednesday! I am excited to finally share wit Happy Wednesday! I am excited to finally share with you my coffee bar. I kept starting to decorate it, then I’d get stuck and then the season would change and there it would sit for months bare. lol
☕️
I love the new look. It’s simple, has what we need and looks light and fresh. My husband actually noticed and said it was his favorite coffee bar yet. Then brings up how he hates the white fluffy stuff I use on the shelves for Christmas. I told him, I’m using the snow again this winter. He gives me the look.
☕️
The Coffee sign is from @krumpetshomedecor. It’s reversible and I think the perfect addition to my coffee bar. The color and style go fabulous with my decor pieces. 
☕️
The sign is also the Krumpets Home Decor deal of the week. Plus you get an additional 10% off with code PBANDP. The link is in my bio.

What is your favorite type of coffee?

Hi Everybody! Happy #tiptuesday. I am sharing with Hi Everybody! Happy #tiptuesday. I am sharing with you a simple way to make your floral displays last longer. I learned this trick from a local florist.
🌸
Ingredients:
4 cups of water (1 liter)
3 tbsp. Sugar
2 tbsp. Distilled Vinegar

Add sugar and vinegar to water. Stir until dissolved. Add flowers. Try to take off as many leaves as possible.
🌸
The sugar nourishes the flowers and the vinegar will stop bacteria growth.
🌸
After I put this arrangement together, I decided to take out the yellow flowers and cut the bouquet down a little. I think it looks better. I bought these flowers from the farmers market.
