Follow The Directions

01

Step

In a large mixing bowl, combine the oats, raisins, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, and sesame seeds. Ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed. (5 minutes)

02

Step

In a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the Homemade Stevia Marshmallow Crème, butter, and milk. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly with a heatproof spatula, until the marshmallow crème is mostly melted and the mixture is smooth. (8 minutes)

03

Step

Remove the saucepan from the heat. Stir in the peanut butter, cinnamon, and vanilla extract until fully incorporated and the mixture is smooth and creamy. (3 minutes)

04

Step

Pour the oat mixture into the saucepan and stir vigorously until all the dry ingredients are evenly coated with the marshmallow crème mixture. (5 minutes)

05

Step

Line a 9x13 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal. Transfer the oat mixture into the prepared pan and spread it in an even layer. (3 minutes)

06

Step

Moisten your hands lightly with water or cooking spray, and firmly press down on the oat mixture to pack it tightly into the pan. This step is crucial for ensuring the bars hold their shape. (2 minutes)

07

Step

Cover the pan with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until the oat mixture is firm and set. (120 minutes)

08

Step

Once the oat mixture is fully chilled and set, lift it out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Place it on a cutting board. (2 minutes)

09

Step

Using a sharp knife, cut the chilled oats into 3 wide strips. Then, cut each strip crosswise into 8 bars, resulting in 24 bars in total. (5 minutes)

10

Step

Serve the No-Bake Nutty Oat Bars cold or at room temperature. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator to maintain their freshness and texture.

For a richer flavor, toast the oats and seeds lightly in a dry skillet before combining them. Be sure to stir frequently and watch carefully so they don't burn.
If you don't have Stevia In The Raw® Bakers Bag, you can substitute with another granulated sweetener of your choice, but be mindful of the overall sweetness level.
For a vegan version, use a vegan marshmallow crème and plant-based butter and milk alternatives.
To prevent the bars from sticking to the knife while cutting, run the knife under hot water and dry it before each cut.
Feel free to add other dried fruits, nuts, or chocolate chips to customize the bars to your liking.
