NATURAL NO-BAKE PEANUT BUTTER ENERGY BARS.
This is a bar recipe I found on a health and fitness site. The original recipe made it a protein bar, but when I made it (ages ago) I didn't have any so I left it out. If you want to make it a protein bar simply add 2 cups of protein powder and add an extra 1/2 cup of honey. This is a good bar for straight after an intense workout, but it tastes like a dessert so even if you're not active you can make it just as a snack bar or treat.

Tips:
- Use quick-cooking oats. This will help the energy bars bind together and create a chewy texture.
- If you don't have peanut butter, you can use another nut butter, such as almond butter or cashew butter.
- Add a little honey or maple syrup to the mixture if you want a sweeter bar.
- For a more chocolatey flavor, add a few tablespoons of cocoa powder to the mixture.
- Feel free to add other ingredients to the bars, such as dried fruit, nuts, or seeds.
- Be sure to let the bars cool completely before cutting them into pieces. This will help them hold their shape.
