Ingredients

  • 1 cup peanut butter natural no sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1/3 cup butter
  • 3 teaspoons vanilla
  • 3 cups oats
  • 1/2 cup shredded coconut (your call if you want it sweetened)
  • 1/2 cup sunflower seeds or pumpkin seeds or both
  • 1/2 cup raisins
  • 1/2 cup peanuts chopped

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Kick the tires and light the fires to 325 degrees. 
  2. Combine the first 5 ingredients in a large pot. I know it seems like a lot of vanilla, but if you don't use a larger amount than usual the honey flavor can be overwhelming.
  3. On low heat on your stove, melt the ingredients together. 
  4. Once the ingredients are melted, throw the rest in. Make sure that the dry ingredients are covered completely with the peanut butter mixture.
  5. Take a piece of parchment paper and lay it over a 9 inch x  13 inch pan, making sure it overlaps the edges a lot. 
  6. Plunk the contents of the pot right down in the middle of the pan. Press the mixture evenly throughout the pan until it looks like this. It doesn't actually stick to your hands much, so you don't need to grease them. Press it as tightly as you can.
  7. Bake it in the oven for about 30 minutes, you are more drying it out slowly than baking it that much. 
  8. Let it cool completely then slice. Letting these dry out is A-ok and preferable, actually. Then let your little astronaut or princess enjoy!
