Equipment

Ingredients

  • 2/3 Cup Peanut Butter
  • 2 Tbsp Honey
  • 2 Tbsp Coconut Oil
  • 1.5 Cups Oatmeal
  • 1 Cup Nuts
  • 1/4 Cup Chocolate Chips

Instructions

  • Add 1 cup of the oats in the food processor pulse it a few times. Set the other half cup of oats aside (leave the 1/2 cup of oats un-pulsed)
  • Pulse the cup of nuts in your food processor. You can also use left over trail mix. If your trail mix has chunks of dried fruit it may not break down easily, don't worry it is still delicious this way. Pulse it a few times and leave any big chunks.
  • Add the pulsed mixture into a bowl, and set aside
  • Mix the peanut butter, honey, and the coconut oil
  • Using the saucepan method- heat the mixture on med low until it is melted. Or You can use the microwave, be sure to use a microwave safe bowl and heat 30 seconds at a time, until it is all melted together.
  • Set aside to cool slightly
  • Add 1/2 melted peanut mixture to the pulsed oats mixture. Add a little at a time, slowly folding it in.
  • Add the chocolate chips and the 1/2 cup of oatmeal
  • Fold in the rest of the melted peanut butter mixture until it is well incorporated, sticky and forming clumps
  • Press them into your lined baking pan to form an even layer
  • Once they are formed they will need to set up in the refrigerator for at least one hour
  • Once they have set up you can remove them from the pan by holding on to the parchment paper and slice them with a pizza cutter or large knife
  • We wrap them in wax paper for individual snacks or you could have them as a grab and go breakfast too.
  • These will freeze well for later, place the wrapped bars on a tray to help them keep their shape until frozen
