Notes

  • SERVING SIZE: Each serving is a 1 1/2 inch x 3 inch bar. These bars are thick. You can make them longer but the nutritional information will be different. 
  •  
  • SUBSTITUTIONS
  • Old Fashioned Oats: You can substitute with quick cook oats in a pinch.
  • Peanut Butter: Creamy peanut butter is best, but crunchy works too.
  • Coconut Oil: This helps solidify the bars so you don't have to bake them. No substitutions are recommended.
  • Peanuts: You can omit or swap with another type of nut, if desired.
  • Honey: This is the sweetener. You can reduce the amount of honey slightly, if desired. You can substitute for maple syrup.
  • Chocolate Chips: You can use any type of chocolate chips, but semisweet are preferred.
