Time 1h15m

Yield 14 bars

Number Of Ingredients 15

Cooking spray
1/2 cup honey
1/2 cup natural creamy peanut butter
2 tablespoons maple syrup
1 tablespoon canola oil
1/4 cup light brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups rolled oats

1/4 cup toasted wheat germ
1/2 cup chopped roasted peanuts
1/2 cup chopped dried apricots

1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

Steps:

  • Spray a 9 by 13-inch baking dish with cooking spray and set aside.
  • In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine honey, peanut butter, maple syrup, canola oil, brown sugar, cinnamon. Stir and cook until mixture just begins to bubble, about 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract.
  • In a large bowl, combine oats, rice cereal, wheat germ, peanuts, apricots, figs and salt.
  • Pour peanut butter mixture over oatmeal mixture and stir gently with a spatula until well combined. Transfer to baking dish, cover with parchment paper and press firmly into dish. Allow to cool completely (will cool faster in the refrigerator). Cut into squares or bars.

These bars are a great way to use up leftover oatmeal. I always have a batch of these in my freezer.

These bars were a little too dry for my taste. I think I'll add some more milk next time.

I had some trouble getting the bars to hold together. I think I might have needed to add more peanut butter.

These bars were a little too sweet for my taste. I think I'll reduce the amount of honey next time.

I'm not a huge fan of oatmeal, but these bars were surprisingly good. The peanut butter and honey helped to offset the oatmeal flavor.
