This Honey Sweetened Flourless Peanut Butter Bars recipe has been a family favorite for many years!

Though actually, I used to always make this recipe into cookies. And I used to use regular sugar. And I used to use 2 cups of that sugar! (Whoa.)
Now I use just 1/3 cup of honey and I simply mix up the three needed ingredients to make Honey Sweetened Peanut Butter Bars instead of cookies.
I love that even though I’ve drastically cut the sweetener, these cookie bars are sweet enough that my kids still enjoy them, but they aren’t so sweet that I can’t enjoy them too. But the best part, of course, is that they stir together super quickly and provide a wholesome snack for the family in just a few minutes!
The cookie version of this low sugar recipe is great too. You’ll find it here. I just like the ease of spreading the batter into a pan and baking. Shortcuts are our friend!

Honey Sweetened Flourless Peanut Butter Bars
- 2 cups natural peanut butter

- 1 egg
- Mix the ingredients together until smooth.

I prefer making Homemade Peanut Butter, simply because it tastes amazing and I can be confident about the ingredients! Here are my two favorite Peanut Butter recipes/methods:
- Peanut Butter (just peanuts!)
- Peanut Butter (super creamy and spreadable – like Skippy or Jif – only healthy!)

I know what I am making this weekend! My grandson will love these. And I just added peanut butter back into my diet so I have all the ingredients. Yum!
Thank you, thank you, thank you for this recipe! So simple, delicious , & makes for a great snack or dessert. I put a handful of chocolate chips on top of the hot bars, let them melt & spread the chocolate for a great, easy dessert that the whole family loved! Good thing I doubled the recipe.
These are kinda perfect?
Not sure why there’s a question mark on m above comment, supposed to be a heart face emoji:-). But I love these bars. They disappeared fast today.
These looks great. Do the bars turn out crunchy? I’m trying to figure out if these are okay for kids with braces. Thank you!
