  • 1 cup peanut butter (smooth or crunchy)
  • 2 cups rolled oats
  • 1 cup honey or maple syrup (for sweetness)

Instructions

6 steps

  1. Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

    Ensure the oven is fully preheated for even baking.

  3. Prepare the Baking Dish

    Line an 8x8 inch baking dish with parchment paper for easy removal.
