Oatmeal - Peanut Butter Bars


These easy peasy oatmeal-peanut butter bars can be made in a jiffy and are great for snacking. I followed this recipe for these yummy bars and all good, healthy things can be sneaked in these bars.

Ingredients: (yield 4 bars)
1.5 cup oats
1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
3 Tbsp semi sweet chocolate chips
2 Tbsp brown sugar
1 Tbsp each - sweetened coconut flakes and chopped walnuts
1 tsp vanilla essence

Method:
* Place peanut butter, chocolate chips, brown sugar and vanilla in a microwave safe bowl and microwave the mixture until it melts.
* Remove and add the oats, coconut and walnuts. The resulting mixture should be fairly dry.
* Mix well and pat the mixture into a greased, square pan.
* Freeze or refrigerate until firm and then cut into pieces.
