If there’s anything I like more than good old granola, it’s definitely granola bars. I know, many prepackaged varieties are complete gimmicks and rip-offs. What could be easier than sticking those dry ingredients together? Plus, the increase in cost can become astronomical when you factor in excessive packaging.

Thankfully, I happened to have plenty of raw materials still on my hands, so I decided to cut out the middleman in this situation and  use what I had on hand to make a pan of chewy granola bars.

Selecting the Peanut Butter granola to best compliment my sticky concoction made primarily from peanut butter, these bars are impossibly addictive. Plus, it’s so incredibly easy to put together with no actual baking required, it may be hard to stop at just one batch. Thankfully, you can just as easily double the recipe and press it into a 9 x 13-inch pan, too.

Chewy Peanut Butter Granola Bars

Print

Only 4 ingredients and about 5 minutes of work stand between you and these incredibly addictive, chewy and super nutty granola bars

Prep Time 5 minutes

Cook Time 5 minutes

Total Time 5 minutes

Ingredients

• 1/2 Cup Brown Sugar
• 1/2 Cup Light Agave
• 1/2 Cup Creamy Peanut Butter
• 3 Cups Peanut Butter Granola

Instructions

1. Lightly grease an 8 x 8 square baking dish. Place the granola in a large bowl and set aside.
2. In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar, agave, and peanut butter, and cook over medium heat until fully combined and smooth; bring just to a boil. Pour the liquid ingredients over the cereal, mix well to fully coat all of the dry granola, and press it evenly into your prepared pan.
3. Let cool completely before cutting, although you can always speed up this process in the fridge. Because they are so soft, I might suggest wrapping them individually (for both freshness and ease) and storing them in the fridge. However, I can’t say for sure on this one, because my ravenous dorm mates gobbled them all up within an hour!
