Notes
- I’ve found that a smooth peanut butter works best. Depending onits thickness, you may have to microwave a little longer.
- You can add almonds to food processor to chop them but I find it’s just as easy to do it on a cutting board and save using extra equipment
- I did not test these with old fashioned oats, so you may need to add more peanut butter or syrup
- To store trail mix cereal bars, keep in airtight container in freezer or refrigerator. You can store them room temperature, but they will stay fresher if refrigerated or frozen.
