So many people have asked me how to make these, I figured this would be the best forum for sharing with multiple people.
These are so delicious, you'll forget they're nutritious!
Ingredients:
3/4 cup creamy peanut butter (do not use crunchy, I already made that mistake for you)
1/4 cup honey
1/4 maple syrup
1/2 cup melted coconut oil
2 tsp vanilla extract
2 cups old fashioned oats
1/2 cup brown sugar
3/4 cup ww flour
1 cup crispy rice cereal (without any sugar or additives)
2 cups trail mix (You can use whatever you want for this! I like dried fruits, butterscotch chips, chopped almonds, and raw sunflower and pumpkin seeds)
1/2 cup unsweetened coconut flakes (optional)
1/2 cup wheat germ (optional but I prefer it with this)
1/4 chia (also optional)
1 egg beaten (againnnn optional)
Directions:
1. Line your 13x9 glass lasagna pan with parchment paper
2. Preheat oven to 350F
3. Mix all of your wet ingredients, minus egg; pb, honey, syrup, coconut oil, vanilla extract.
4. Mix all dry ingredients in a large bowl; oats, brown sugar, flour, crispy rice cereal, trail mix, coconut flakes, wheat germ, chia)
5. Mix wet ingredients into dry ingredients. Add the beaten egg. Egg is optional, so decide if you want it to be shelf stable or not. Also, I feel the egg helps keep it together.
6. Put mix into the lasagna pan. You'll want to start in the middle of the pan, therefore in the middle of the parchment paper, in order to keep all the ingredients within the parchment paper.
Smooth over to make a flat sheet, so you can cut bars after they're done baking.
7. After oven is preheated, put pan in and bake for 20-25 minutes.
8. Let the bars cool and then lift parchment paper out and put on cutting board to cut bars of whatever size you choose.
Super filling and I have to say at just 1/2 cup sugar, HEALTHY!!!
