No-Bake Peanut Butter Energy Bar

By CorbettCook

5 min prep
This is a bar recipe from a health and fitness site. These supply huge amounts of energy. The slow released carbs of the oats with the high sugar levels make them ideal post and pre workout.

If you want to make it a protein bar 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.

Preparation

Step 1

Combine peanut butter and honey in a large nonstick pot and warm up over a low heat until runny and mixed.

Mix in the oatmeal (and protein powder if using).

You don't want to cook it, just heat it up enough to stir everything together nicely.

Press into a 9x9-inch pan.

Let cool, then cut into 16 equal bars.
Wrap each bar in foil and store in plastic bags. - No need to refrigerate as the ingredients are natural.
