As a kid, I ate a lot of peanut butter. I think that's true of most North American children. Peanut butter has become associated with kids for this reason, but that doesn't mean peanut butter is only good for kids.

Ingredients
- ½ tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1/4 cup whole wheat flour
- 1/2 cup coconut sugar or brown sugar
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup natural peanut butter no sugar added
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1 egg lightly beaten
- 1 large Pink Lady or Honey Crisp apple peeled
- ½ cup coarsely chopped peanuts divided
Instructions
-
Pre-heat the oven to 350°F. Line a 8x8-inch baking pan with a strip of parchment paper that is 8 inches wide and about 12 to 14 inches long, letting the parchment paper hang over two sides of the pan. Grease the pan and paper with butter.
-
Combine the rolled oats, whole wheat flour, coconut sugar (or brown sugar), baking soda and salt in a bowl. Grate the apple into the mixture and add the peanut butter, honey and egg. Stir until all the ingredients are combined. Fold in three quarters of the coarsely chopped peanuts.
-
Spread the mixture evenly into the prepared pan. Sprinkle the remaining peanuts on top and press them into the batter. Transfer the pan to the oven and bake at 350°F for 20 minutes, until lightly browned.
-
Transfer the pan to a cooling rack and allow the bars to cool in the pan. Once cool, cut into bars. Store in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
