I know it is another granola bar, but I was in the granola bar making mood. These chewy peanut butter granola bars are very satisfying and are wonderful for kids to take to school or for an afternoon snack.
I have been trying not to buy all the pre-packaged stuff because they can be really expensive and full of other STUFF I am not into.
These are also really easy to make. Please wait for them too cool before eating though. They really can burn your mouth (not that I know or anything).

Combine peanut butter, sugar, honey, butter and vanilla in a small bowl. In a medium mixing bowl combine the oats, sunflower seeds and flax seed. Mix in the peanut butter mixture. Press into a greased 8x8 baking pan. Bake at 350 for 15-20 minutes. Cool completely before cutting into bars.
I made these with natural peanut butter and they came out a bit soggy. Should I decrease the amount of butter for the next batch?
It’s hard to say. Some brands of natural peanut butter are thinner so yes that could have made them a little soggy. Sorry they didn’t turn out as you had hoped.
Looking forward to making these they look so great!
