I got this recipe from a friend who also has a young daughter. She said that the oatmeal is supposed to increase a breastfeeding mom's milk supply. I modified the recipe a little to make it healthier. I increased the oats by 1 extra cup. I used margarine instead of coconut oil or butter. I also omitted the coconut because my husband doesn't like it. One tip is to cut these bars into small squares because they are super rich!
1 cup peanut butter
1/2 cup honey
1/2 cup margarine
3 cups old fashioned oats
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
1 1/4 cups dark chocolate chips (or regular semi-sweet chocolate chips, if you prefer)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Melt the peanut butter, honey, and margarine over medium-low heat in a saucepan on the stove. Watch closely so it doesn't burn. Remove from heat once it’s melted together and add in the oats, chocolate chips, nuts, and vanilla. Stir together until the chocolate is completely melted.
Pour into a greased 9×13 pan and cool in the fridge. When the mixture is hardened, cut into bars, put into individual Ziploc baggies and eat. Store in the refrigerator or freezer. These are so good they taste like a candy bar!
