Tips and Warnings

  • Make sure to use an all natural creamy peanut butter that has been stirred well. The extra moisture in all-natural peanut butter helps hold the granola bars together. 
  • I love the combination of rolled and quick-cooking oats in this recipe. It gives just the right amount of chewiness, but if you don’t have both feel free to swap one or the other.
