No Bake Peanut Butter Oat Bars Recipes

NO-BAKE PEANUT BUTTER BARS

Steps:

• For the filling: Grease a 9-by-13-inch pan with some butter.
• Using a stand or electric hand mixer, mix together the butter and chunky peanut butter until smooth. Stir in the sugar a cup at a time.
• Add the vanilla wafers to a food processor and process until they are in crumbs. Then add the crumbs and mini chocolate chips to the peanut butter mixture. Spread it evenly into the buttered pan and set aside.
• For the frosting: Using a double boiler or a microwave, melt the chocolate chips and creamy peanut butter. Allow to cool for a couple of minutes, then pour over the base. Spread the frosting out evenly and sprinkle over the chopped peanuts. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, then cut into 20 bars.

NO BAKE PEANUT BUTTER OAT BARS

Steps:

• Grease a 9 x 9 inch, or similar, brownie tin with butter or coconut oil and set aside.
• In a large heatproof bowl, combine your peanut butter and coconut oil, and melt together in 30 second intervals on high power.
• Once they're completely liquid and combined, stir in your oats. Mix well, and tip into your square tin. Press down firmly with the back of a spoon (if it's sticking, dip in some coconut oil first).
• Put the oat mixture to one side.
• In a heatproof bowl in the microwave, melt the milk chocolate on 30 second bursts of high power, stirring after each one. Pour over the bars, spreading out with a spoon (and creating swirly patterns if you like)!
• Pop into the fridge to set - they should be ready to cut in under an hour. Store in an airtight tin on the counter - or in the fridge if its very hot.

OATMEAL PEANUT BUTTER BARS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• In a large bowl stir together the peanut butter, the butter or margarine, the brown sugar, the syrup and the vanilla until smooth.
• Add all the other ingredients. Stir well.
• Press the mixture into 13 x 9 inch greased pan. Bake for 20-25 minutes. Let cool on wire rack before cutting into bars.

NO-BAKE NUTTY OAT BARS

Steps:

• In a bowl, combine the oats, raisins, and seeds.
• Place the Marshmallow Creme, butter, and milk in a large, heavy saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring with a heatproof spatula, until the marshmallow is mostly melted.
• Add the peanut butter, cinnamon and vanilla extract. When a few lumps remain, remove the pot from the heat and stir until the mixture is smooth. Add the oat mixture and stir until all the ingredients are well combined.
• Spread the oat mixture in the prepared pan in an even layer. Moisten your hand lightly with water and press to pack it firmly.
• Refrigerate until the oat mixture sets.
• Using a sharp knife, cut the chilled oats into 3 wide strips. Cut each strip crosswise into 8 bars. Serve cold or at room temperature.
• For the homemade marshmallow creme: In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a whisk, sprinkle the gelatin over the cold water. Let sit.
• Place the Stevia In The Raw in a small bowl and mix 1 tablespoon water into the stevia until it looks like soft marshmallow. Set aside.
• Place the sugar and corn syrup in a heavy medium-sized saucepan. Add 1/3 cup water.
• Cook over medium heat until the mixture boils and registers 225 degrees F on an instant-read or candy thermometer, about 5 minutes.
• Continue boiling the sugar and when it reaches 235 degrees F (about 3 more minutes) start watching it carefully. When the thermometer registers 240 degrees F - "soft ball" stage - about 3 more minutes, immediately remove the pot from the heat.
• Promptly start beating the softened gelatin at medium speed and carefully pour the hot sugar syrup slowly down the side of the bowl in a thin stream.
• Add the stevia and vanilla. Increase the speed to high and beat until the mixture triples in volume and looks like Italian meringue or well-beaten whipped cream, 5 to 6 minutes. The creme will flow from the bottom of the whisk in an even, thick column.
• If not using Marshmallow Creme immediately, pack it into a plastic container, cover tightly, and store at room temperature for up to 2 days
