these are delicious and adaptable, I have used almond butter and honey instead of the peanut butter and corn syrup and had good results. they were just softer, so maybe cut the honey back a bit, or add more granola!

How To Make microwave energy bars

  • 1
    Place syrup in a large bowl and microwave for 1 minute. add peanut butter, blend and microwave again another minute or until all melty and blended.
  • 2
    In another bowl, blend all the dry ingredients together, add to the hot syrup mix.
