5 Ingredient Peanut Butter Granola Bars

• 4 cups Rolled Oatsrolled-oats
• 2 Tablespoons Chia Seedschia
• ½ cups Unsalted Peanuts, Choppedpeanut
• ½ cups Brown Rice Syrup (or Honey)
• ¾ cups Natural Peanut Butter, Meltedpeanut-butter

1. 01Preheat oven to 350F.
2. 02In a large bowl, combine oats, chia seeds and peanuts. Add brown rice syrup (or honey) and mix to combine. Add melted peanut butter and mix until moistened. This works as a perfect, simple granola bar, but you can also throw in any add-ins (chocolate chips, coconut, wheat germ, dried fruit, flaxseed, coconut, additional nuts) at this time. Fold them into the dough. You may need to get in there with your hands and work the granola dough!
3. 03Press dough in a greased (nonstick spray) 9 x 13 baking dish. Bake for 25 minutes.
4. 04These would also work as a great no-bake granola bar, but I liked how they came together and the chocolate chips melted as they got warm. If you want to make no-bakes, simply press the dough into the pan and refrigerate for 60 minutes.
