Ingredients
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup mini M&M’s
- 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
- 5 cups rolled oats
- 1 cup sunflower seeds
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 2/3 cup brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line two 9x9 baking dishes with parchment paper and lightly spray with cooking oil.
- Place oats and nuts on a rimmed baking sheet and bake for 8 to 10 minutes until lightly toasted.
- While the oats and nuts are toasting, add to a microwave safe bowl peanut butter, honey, unsalted butter, vanilla, and brown sugar. Microwave in intervals of 30 seconds, mixing between each until fully combined.
- Place nuts and oats in a large bowl and pour microwaved mixture over. Stir until fully combined.
- Add in chocolate chips and M&M’s and stir until evenly distributed.
- Distribute the oat mixture into the two prepared pans and press down using parchment paper. Ensure the oat mixture is pressed firmly, so that the bars stick together.
- Cook the bars for 7 minutes in the preheated oven and allow to cool completely prior to cutting into desired shapes and sizes.
