Ingredients
Yields 16 servings
- 3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1 tablespoon packed light brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup puffed rice cereal ((like Rice Krispies or you can use puffed brown rice cereal)
- 2 cups old fashioned rolled oats
- 3/4 cup mix-ins (reserve some to sprinkle on top ((see below for some of my favorites)
Method
7 steps
- 1
Line an 8x8 square pan with parchment paper.
- 2
In a small saucepan, combine the peanut butter, honey, brown sugar, and salt. Heat over medium heat just until the peanut butter is softened and easy to pour, 2 to 3 minutes. Move the pan off the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
- 3
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cereal and oats.
- 4
Pour the peanut butter mixture over the top and gently fold until everything is evenly combined. Fold in the mix-ins (you can set some aside to press into the top of the bars if you’d like.
- 5
Press the granola bar mixture into the prepared pan. Sprinkle any reserved mix-ins on top. (You can press the top down with the bottom of a measuring cup to get an even, flat surface.)
- 6
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, until set.
- 7
Remove the granola and slice into 16 even bars. These will hold their shape best if stored in the refrigerator or freezer.
