Tara’s Tips for Perfect Homemade Chewy Peanut Butter Granola Bars

  • Peanut Butter

    • plain, creamy peanut butter is all you need, heat it in the microwave or stove-top until runny, if you are allergic – any nut butter will work
  • Oats

    • old-fashioned rolled oats, not the steel cut or instant
  • Maple Syrup or Honey

    • if you are vegan and don’t use honey, use maple syrup, both turn out fabulous
  • Salt

    • coarse sea salt or kosher salt is best here
  • Grab + Go

    • you can wrap these in individual wrappers + freeze them for busy mornings or lunch boxes, they also make perfect gifts
  • Mix-Ins

    • chocolate chips, extra peanuts or any nut you love, shaved coconut, raisins, or dried fruit are all excellent additions
