Peanut Butter Stuffed Oat Bars (Pip and Nut Style)

Hubby had a stock of these in the cupboard and they are not cheap! The ingredients were OK but I knew I could do better.

Full of good stuff and cheaper to make than the shop bought version and they taste amazing! I make a batch every week.

"These are yum" - hubby said. 😀

Ingredients: Makes approx 14 bars. You will need some silicone bar moulds. Mine are square moulds from Amazon

• 220g rolled oats

• 70g oat flour

• 60g unsalted peanuts (finely chopped)

• 40g dried fruit e.g. sultanas, raisins.

• 20g seeds (optional), such as pumpkins seeds, sesame etc.

Centre mixture

• 150g smooth peanut butter

👉 Mix until soft and creamy (not stiff)

Method:

1. Make the base

   Mix everything together.

   It should feel soft, slightly sticky, holds when pressed (not dry crumble)

   
   

2. Fill mould (14 squares)

   For each square:

   • Press base firmly into bottom and slightly up sides

   • Add peanut butter centre (keep away from edges)

   • Cover with remaining mix
