Peanut Butter and Honey Oat Bars

Preheat oven to 300 F. Line an 8 x 8 pan with parchment paper, making sure the parchment paper hangs over the sides of the pan.

In a medium sized microwave safe bowl, add honey, coconut oil and peanut butter. Microwave for 30 seconds, stir until mixture gets runny and peanut butter completely melted in. You may have to heat for another 20 seconds or so. Once melted mix in vanilla extract and cinnamon.

Add oats and peanuts and mix until everything is combined and the mixture is completely coated with the honey and peanut butter mixture.

Pour mixture into prepared pan and press down with the back of a spoon. Bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes until lightly brown.

Once you take the bars out of the oven, gently press down with the back of a spoon to insure the oats are pressed firmly together. Let the oat bars cool slightly then carefully remove bars from the pan by grabbing onto the parchment paper. Set them onto a cutting board and cut into 16 slices. Let bars cool completely and harden at room temperature.

Store bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
