This recipe is from 100 days of real food. It is not the tastiest, but it tastes pretty good. It is healthy and has lots of peanut butter, though, so one square of this keeps me full for a long time, which has been great since I'm trying to lose weight. I eat one square for breakfast along with two slices of bacon, and that's all I need. I also eat them as a bedtime snack to keep me full for the night. I tank up before bed, because lately Anya's been nursing twice a night. Oh, and I didn't get around to taking a picture of it, but I'll make it again one of these days and post a pic.

No-Bake Peanut Butter Oat Bars
Serves: Makes 16 - 20 bars
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups peanut butter (could sub sunflower seed or almond butter for those with allergies)
- 6 tablespoons pure maple syrup
- 1 cup oats (purchase "gluten-free" oats for those with allergies)
- 1 cup crunchy flax cereal (I used Enjoy Life brand. You could also sub with other whole-grain cereal or nuts, but I do really recommend this flax cereal in the recipe because it is so good with just the right crunch!)
Instructions
- Line an 8 x 8 inch square baking dish with wax or parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, stir together the peanut butter and maple syrup until it's mixed together thoroughly.
- Pour in the oats and cereal and stir with a rubber spatula until well combined.
- Spread the bar mixture into one even layer in the bottom of the pan. Refrigerate for at least one hour. Cut and serve or store in the fridge.
