About the Recipe
These bars combine creamy peanut butter, hearty oats, and a touch of brown sugar for a chewy, satisfying treat. Packed with protein and fibre, they’re perfect for snacking, lunchboxes, or a cosy dessert—sweet, nutty, and irresistibly soft.
Ingredients
130g rolled oats
30g wheat flour
1 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
1 teaspoon cinnamon
70g chopped almonds
2 large eggs
130g creamy peanut butter
65g maple syrup/golden syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
100g dark chocolate
1 bag of salted caramel M&Ms
Pinch of salt
Instructions
Step 1
Set your oven to 190 degrees Celsius, or 170 degrees Celsius if using a fan-assisted oven.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, place the rolled oats, wheat flour, bicarbonate of soda, cinnamon, salt and chopped almonds; combine well and set aside.
Step 3
In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, creamy peanut butter, maple syrup/golden syrup and vanilla extract.
Step 4
Next, combine the wet and dry mixtures and mix well with a wooden spoon until fully submerged.
Step 5
Spoon the fully combined mix into a square tin, ensuring to flatten it out fully; bake in your preheated oven for 10 minutes, allowing the cookie dough to cook slightly, but not completely.
Step 6
Whilst the cookie dough is in the oven, pot boil some water before placing a cooking bowl on top; place the chocolate in the bowl and allow to melt fully.
Step 7
Take the cookie dough out the oven and cover with the melted chocolate; while the chocolate is still hot, scatter the M&Ms over and then place in dish in the fridge for 2hrs.
Step 8
Finish off by removing the slab from the tin and cutting the block into equal size bars according to your choosing.
