Ingredients For 5-ingredient granola bars

  • 1 c
    creamy peanut butter
  • 3/4 c
    honey
  • 3 c
    100% whole grain old fashioned rolled oats
  • 1 pinch
    salt
  • 1 c
    raisins (i used sun-maid raisin medley)

How To Make 5-ingredient granola bars

  • 1
    Combine peanut butter and honey in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Melt to combine ingredients. Just be sure to keep stirring the ingredients.
  • 2
    Once the ingredients look blended well, stir in the oats and other optional ingredients, like chocolate chips, or nuts. (I just added the raisins.)
  • 3
    Press into a 9x9-inch pan that is lined with aluminum foil, and then sprayed with olive oil cooking spray.
  • 4
    Refrigerate uncovered for 6 hours, or overnight. (I refrigerated mine overnight.)
  • 5
    Cut granola into bars and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 1 week.
  • 6
    Note: I cut mine into 18 bars (about 3-inch in size per each bar.) But I did not store mine in an airtight container. I didn't cover mine at all, and they held up well.
