Tips:
- Use a variety of oats. This will give your granola bars a more complex flavor and texture. You can use old-fashioned oats, quick-cooking oats, or a combination of both.
- Don't overcook the oats. If you overcook them, they will become mushy and your granola bars will be too soft. Cook the oats until they are just tender, about 1 minute.
- Use a natural peanut butter. This will give your granola bars a more intense peanut butter flavor. Avoid using peanut butter that contains added sugar or oils.
- Add your favorite mix-ins. You can add all sorts of different mix-ins to your granola bars, such as chocolate chips, dried fruit, nuts, or seeds. Be creative and experiment with different flavors.
- Press the granola bars firmly into the pan. This will help them to hold together better. Use a spoon or your hands to press the granola bars down firmly into the pan.
- Chill the granola bars before cutting them. This will make them easier to cut and will help them to hold their shape. Chill the granola bars for at least 30 minutes before cutting them.

These low-sugar peanut butter granola bars are a delicious and healthy snack that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are easy to make and can be customized to your own liking. So next time you're looking for a healthy snack, give these granola bars a try!
