Peanut Butter Granola Bars {No Oil, No Butter}
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/4 cup unpacked brown sugar
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup applesauce
- 2 heaping cups old fashioned oats
- mix-ins if desired — I used sunflower seeds, but you could also add almonds, chocolate chips, butterscotch chips (<< omg now I’m pissed I didn’t add butterscotch chips)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Mix the peanut butter, brown sugar, and honey together until smooth. Stir in the applesauce, the oats, and the mix-ins.
- Press into a parchment-lined 8×8 pan (a bigger pan is fine too, just decrease cooking time). Bake for 25-30 minutes. Cooking time with depend on pan size and your oven. The bars are done when the edges start to look cooked through. The bars will still have a wet look when you take them out. Don’t fret — let them sit and cool for forty-five minutes, then slice into 9-12 squares.
- Enjoy!
