I have to be super careful when

cooking for my daughter because
of food sensitivities, so I make these
no-bake peanut butter oatmeal
bars with certified gluten-free oats.
Everyone loves these bars when we
go to picnics or potlucks, and I
know there will be a dessert for my
daughter! —Angela Lively, Conroe,

Peanut Butter Oatmeal Bars Tips

Can you use other kinds of

oats to make no-bake
peanut butter oatmeal bars?
You can use quick-cooking oats
in place of old-fashioned oats if
that's all you have on hand. Keep
in mind that quick-cooking oats
have a milder flavor and softer
texture. We like old-fashioned
oats because they tend to hold
up better and provide more
texture, but quick-cooking oats
are perfect in a pinch! If you’ve
got some extra oats lying
around, try some of these fun
oatmeal recipes.

How can you make peanut

butter oatmeal bars your
own?
One of our favorite ways to put a
spin on these classic peanut
butter oatmeal bars is by adding
chocolate! We all love a good
peanut butter and chocolate
treat. You can simply fold in
some chocolate chips directly
with your oats before pressing
into the pan, or melt the chips
and drizzle over the top for a fun
garnish.

How should you store no-

bake peanut butter oatmeal
bars?
These no-bake bars can be
stored in an airtight container on
the counter for up to 1 week. You
can also store these in the
freezer for up to 2 months and
simply remove them a few hours
before eating.

I made these per the recipe except I

had crunchy peanut butter, which
didn’t seem to be a problem. I didn’t
have a 9-inch square pan, so I
pressed the mixture into a 9 x 16-
inch pan, then cut into 24 pieces.
This reduced the calorie count ...

I can't do peanuts. Do you think
almond butter or sun butter could
work?

Since those would be about the
same consistency as peanut
butter, I think that would work
just fine!

Oh Yum! I only had 1/2 c honey, so

added 1/4 c molasses. I think it
made a good flavor. I did stir in a
couple Tbl chocolate chips. They
begin to melt quickly, so work fast
and swirl them a bit

Yes! It is that easy! Make these at

least once a week. The taste of
honey shines through the bars.
Keep plain or add mini chocolate
