MYO Snack Bars


These are so delicious. Kids that like nut butter will love these too!

Ingredients:
1/2 c peanut or other nut butter
1/3 cup liquid sweetener: agave, maple syrup, etc....
1/4 cup coconut oil
1 1/2 cup old fashion oats
2 T wheat germ
1/2 cup nuts or 1/4 cup chocolate chips (I prefer chocolate chips)

1) Over low heat in a medium saucepan, melt the first 3 ingredients, stirring often.
2) Mix in your oats and wheat germ and peanuts (if using) stir. 
3) Remove from heat and add chocolate chips if using. They may melt a little but that's okay.
4) Line an 8 x 8 pan with parchment or foil and press mixture into it. Cover pan with plastic wrap. 
5) Put into freezer overnight. Take out, let it soften a bit and cut into squares.
6) You may want to wrap them individually and freeze, but they probably won't last long enough!
