Classic No-Bake Oat Bars

Ingredients

• 3 cups Rolled Oats (Chewy texture; can substitute quick oats)
• 1 cup Natural Peanut Butter (Drippy consistency for easy mixing; any natural nut or seed butter works)
• 0.5 cup Honey (Sticky sweetener; maple syrup or agave nectar can be used)
• 0.25 tsp Salt (Enhances flavor; optional)

Instructions

1. Gather Ingredients and Equipment

   Measure out 3 cups rolled oats, 1 cup natural peanut butter, ½ cup honey, and ¼ tsp salt. Set out a large mixing bowl, spatula, baking tray, parchment paper, and optional binder clips.

   Time: PT2M

2. Combine All Ingredients

   Add the rolled oats, peanut butter, honey, and salt to the mixing bowl. Stir vigorously until the mixture is uniform and the oats are fully coated.

   Time: PT5M

3. Line the Baking Tray

   Place a sheet of parchment paper on the tray, covering the bottom and sides. Clip the edges with binder clips to keep the paper from shifting.

   Time: PT3M

4. Press the Mixture into the Tray

   Transfer the oat mixture onto the parchment‑lined tray. Using a spatula (or the bottom of a clean mason jar), spread it evenly and press firmly to eliminate air pockets.

   Time: PT5M

5. Chill to Set

   Refrigerate the tray for 2 to 3 hours, or until the bars are firm enough to cut cleanly.

   Time: PT2H30M

   Temperature: 4°C

6. Cut into Bars

   Lift the parchment paper out of the tray, place it on a cutting board, and slice into 12 equal squares or rectangles.

   Time: PT5M

7. Store or Serve

   Transfer the bars to an airtight container. Keep refrigerated for up to 1 week or freeze for up to 3 months.
