Leftover Peanut Butter Bars and Giveaway winner

I like using leftovers in a new way. I found this recipe last year and my family loves it.


Leftover Peanut Butter Bars
2 cups leftover oatmeal, cold and slimy is fine
1/2 cup coconut oil, softened
1 cup sweetener…sugar, sucanat, etc….
1 egg
1 cup whole grain flour…wheat, spelt, etc
1/2 tsp. baking soda
2/3  cup peanut butter
1 tsp. vanilla

Cream butter, sweetener and eggs in a bowl. Add oats and other ingredients; mix well. Spread into greased 9×13″ baking pan. Bake at 350′ for 10-15 minutes. Cool on wire rack; cut into bars. Yield 12 small servings.

We double this recipe and serve it warm with milk for breakfast. You can also cool them and use them for snacks. Whenever you have leftover oatmeal, put it in a container in the freezer. When you have enough for the recipe, then go ahead and make this. Just this morning, we made it with some leftover oat groats and oatmeal.

Now, for the winner of the tea wallet . . . HappyMrsBaas! Since she is the only one who entered, it was kind of a given. Thank you for sharing the giveaway on Facebook!
