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.

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!!!

    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!

One of the things I added was my new bedding that I got from @lushdecorhome. Let me tell you, it is so luxurious. This is the 3 piece Belgian Flax Linen Rich Cotton Blend Bedspread. It is so soft and gets softer with each wash.

I have a tall bed and the ruffles just reaches the floor. The bedding is filled with cotton that gives the bedspread such a comfy feel. The bedspread is perfect for the summer, as it is lightweight, but warm enough to keep you cozy in the winter. The set comes with two pillow shams and the bedspread. It also comes in 4 colors.

Hi Everyone! I shared the reel to my Summertime ta Hi Everyone! I shared the reel to my Summertime tablescape with @JCPenney + #AllAtJCP + #sponsored +#ShoppingIsBack but you know how I love still photos better. I think you can really see the details of the decor.

💛

I am loving how simple, fresh and light my tablescape feels. It’s the perfect look I was going for. When the idea came for creating a tablescape, I was unclear of what direction I was going for until I shopped at JCPenney. I walked around the decor department and was completely inspired. They had so many styles and colors that would inspire you too.

💛

I saved a highlight of my shopping trip to JCPenney. You must check it out. I’ll be honest, I was blown away by the styles, quality and prices of there store. I will be shopping there quite frequently and you know I will take you along my journey.

💛

What is the style of your home?

💛

PS. Everything on my table is from JCPenney and it is the Linden Street Collection.

My inspiration was my new pillows that I got from @downlitebedding. The name of the pillow says it all “Ahhhhhmazing™ down alternative pillow” and they are amazing.
🐾
The pillows are so soft, plush and are hypoallergenic. They are easily molded so you position your neck, head and arms. The pillows are also washable and OEKO-TEX® Certified Textiles Are Certified Free Of Harmful Chemicals.

I’ll be honest, Downlite Bedding are the only pillows that I sleep with. They are fabulous and will last for years. I highly recommend them. They won’t disappoint you. Downlite Bedding was nice enough to give my followers a 20% off discount code to there shop: DYGEN20.

Hello! I have to tell you that I love summer. It’s my favorite season. I love the sun, hot weather, shirts and flip flops. I could just spend all day outside.
🌻
One of my favorite things to do in the summer besides gardening is going to the Farmers Market. There is something about the atmosphere with people walking around with bags in hand, the smell of kettle corn and everyone is so happy. 
🌻
Besides the atmosphere, you can’t beat the freshly grown produce. It’s mind blowing how different it tastes, then what you get in the store. You almost forget what a strawberry is suppose to taste like until have it at the Farmers Market. Plus you are supporting your community. It’s a good feeling all around. 
🌻
I highly recommend going to the Farmers Market and pick up so corn. Soooooo good!! Stock up on your fruits and veggies and freeze it for winter.
🌻
My beautiful “Summer” cutout sign is from @krumpetshomedecor and it’s also the deal of the week. You get an extra 10% off with code: PBANDP. Link is in my bio.

I’m sharing with you my last photo of my peonies. I’m so sad that they didn’t last. I got about 6 days from them. I guess that’s means I need to go to Trader Joe’s and get more before peony season is over.

Do you have any summer vacation scheduled this year?

Happy Monday!! It’s back to work for me. I’ll Happy Monday!! It’s back to work for me. I’ll be counting down to my next vacation, which will be the week of the 4th of July. I will tell you, it felt so nice not having any plans and doing work in the garden.
🌻
This weekend I finally made it to the Farmers Market and I picked up these amazing sunflowers. They are such a happy flower. 
🌻
When I got them, I couldn’t resist doing a flowers in the sink photo. I haven’t done one of these since Fall. Now I may have to go back to the Farmers Market next weekend because they had so many flowers and most were only $4.00 a bundle. 
🌻
Do you you like to go to the Farmers Market?

Happy Friday! My vacation is officially over and I Happy Friday! My vacation is officially over and I pretty much spent the whole week working in my garden, so I apologize for all the flower photos. 
🌸
This is a view of my fenced in garden. The flowers on the left are zinnias, and next to them is beardtongue and in the background, butterfly bush.  In about a month or so, this background will pop with lots of orange from my Mexican sunflower and yellow from the black eyed susan. I just hope my black eyed susan’s make it. They are struggling. 
🌸
I have to say I have been enjoying working in the garden. It’s therapy to me. It just makes me feel good to sit back and see all your hard work start to bloom. I can’t wait to see what the garden looks like a month.
🌸
What do you like to do that you consider your therapy?
