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

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!)

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.
