Peanut Butter Granola Bars


I made these granola bars this week (twice actually!) and we have loved them!  They are delicious, so quick, and so much better than what you can get at the store.    I thought I would share so you could enjoy them as well!  

Peanut Butter Granola Bars (adapted from How Sweet It Is)

makes 12-16 granola bars

4 cups rolled oats
1/2 cup unsalted chopped nuts (I used mixed nuts because that's what I had)
3/4 to 1 cup of peanut butter, melted
1/2 cup honey

mix ins-  
coconut
chocolate chips
dried fruit
anything that sounds good to you!

Mix all together in a large bowl, adding in any mix ins that sound good to you.  I am loving them with chocolate chips and coconut.  I ended up using almost a cup of peanut butter on my second batch and they held together much better than the first time I made them with the 3/4 cup. 

Press into a greased 9 x 13 baking dish and bake at 350 for 25 minutes.  Let cool completely and cut into squares. Enjoy!
