1/4 cup light or dark brown sugar
04 -
1/2 cup peanuts, chopped (optional)

1/4 cup melted butter

10 -
1/2 cup honey
# Steps:
01 -
Set your oven to 325°F and let it preheat.

Heat up the peanut butter and butter in the microwave until melted. Stir them together, then move the mixture to a big bowl. Mix the honey and salt in next.
03 -
Toss the sourdough discard, vanilla, brown sugar, and oats into the butter-honey mix. Stir everything until it looks evenly mixed.
04 -
Add the peanuts (optional) and mini chocolate chips to the mixture. Stir gently to spread them evenly.
05 -
Put the mix in the oven for 25 minutes. Let it cool down a bit before lifting it out with the parchment paper. Transfer to the fridge for at least one or two hours to chill.
06 -
If you'd like, melt some chocolate in the microwave and drizzle it over the top. Slice everything into 12 bars before serving.
# Notes:
01 -
Cool completely in the fridge for cleaner slicing.
02 -
Less honey makes crumbly bars, so adjust based on what you prefer.
03 -
Swap in other favorite add-ins like seeds, other nuts, or dark chocolate.
04 -
Feel free to melt the peanut butter and butter on the stove instead.
