No Bake Peanut Butter Oatmeal Bars Food

PEANUT BUTTER OATMEAL BARS

Steps:

• Mix together the peanut butter, honey, oats, salt and cinnamon in a bowl. (If the mixture seems dry and not sticky, add a bit more peanut butter and/ or honey; different peanut butter brands perform differently.)
• Add a sheet of parchment paper to a 9 x 9 pan. Place the ingredients in the pan and press it into an even layer. Use a small glass to roll over the top to get it smooth.
• Freeze the bars for 10 minutes. Remove the pan from the freezer and use the parchment to lift it out of the pan. Cut into 20 rectangles (4 x 5 rows) or 40 small rectangles.
• In the microwave with short intervals or over a double boiler, melt the chocolate, stirring until it comes together into a glossy chocolate. If using the microwave, use short bursts of 10 seconds or so and stir after each: be careful not to overheat the chocolate or get any water in the chocolate, which will cause it to seize up. When melted, drizzle over the bars and allow to cool. You can eat right away, or refrigerate for about 1 hour for a more solid texture. Store refrigerated for up to 2 weeks (or frozen for several months, placing wax paper between the layers).

NO-BAKE OATMEAL PEANUT BUTTER BARS

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, add coconut oil (if it's still in its solid form, make sure to microwave it for a few seconds), butter, and peanut butter and using your electric mixer, mix until you reach a creamy consistency (even if you're using chunky peanut butter). You'll find that your mixture will glisten and shine.
• Add brown sugar and mix until well combined. Next, add graham cracker crumbs and quick oats and fold in with all other ingredients.
• Line both square pans with parchment paper and pour in your mixture. Make sure to spread it evenly so that both pans have layers of the mixture at about 1/2 of an inch thick.
• Melt chocolate chips in either a double boiler or in in the microwave. Drizzle the melted chocolate onto the layer of your peanut butter mixture and then sprinkle coconut flakes on top.
• Cover each pan with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1.5 - 2 hours. Slice into 12 bars, about 2" x 3" each (6 bars per pan) and enjoy!
• **Alternative: You can chill the peanut butter layer for an hour, and then spread your melted chocolate over on top. Once the chocolate is evenly spread, sprinkle on your coconut flakes and chill in the refrigerator for another hour. It's all in personal preferences for the esthetics! In any case: same great recipe and same great taste!
