How to Make Peanut Butter Wheat Bars

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8x8 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the peanut butter, honey, brown sugar, and melted butter. Mix well until thoroughly combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, oats, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  4. Stir in the dried cranberries and chopped walnuts.
  5. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.
  6. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Let the bars cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares. Once cooled, lift the bars out of the pan and cut them into 16 even squares using a sharp knife.
  8. Wrap each square individually in cupcake baking papers for easy packing and portioning.
