Made something new this week with my Forks Over Knives recipe app. Thought I’d share it. I love granola bars. This was a great breakfast. I used almond butter instead of peanut butter.

Peanut Butter Granola Bars

Ingredients

• ½ cup smooth peanut butter 
• ¼ cup pure maple syrup 
• ¼ cup brown rice syrup 
• 1 tsp vanilla extract 
• 2 cups rolled oats 
• ½ tsp sea salt 
• ½ tsp ground cinnamon 

Method

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Line an 8-inch square baking pan with a 10-inch square of parchment paper. 
• In a medium saucepan combine peanut butter, maple syrup, and brown rice syrup. Heat over low just until smooth, whisking constantly with a fork. Cool slightly. Stir in vanilla. Stir in oats, salt, and cinnamon until combined. 
• Using moist fingers, press mixture into the prepared pan. Bake 18 minutes or until edges are light brown. 
• Cool in pan on a wire rack 10 minutes. Using the parchment paper, lift out uncut bars. Cut into bars. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature.
