Preparation Steps

• Spread oats on a cookie sheet and bake in a 325 degree oven for 2-3 minutes. This step is optional.
• Line a 9-inch square dish with parchment paper, set aside.
• In a large bowl, combine toasted oats, puffed rice, and nuts/seeds.
• Place peanut butter and honey in a glass bowl. Heat for 30 seconds in the microwave to soften for easier mixing.
• Add cinnamon and mix until combined.
• Pour cinnamon peanut butter over dried oats mixture. Stir just until combined. Fold in peanut butter chips if desired.
• Press into prepared pan. Refrigerate for one hour. Overnight is best.
• Remove from pan by lifting the parchment paper. Cut into bars. Store for up to 5 days in an airtight container.
