Peanut Butter and Oats Bar

RecipesFILIPINO RECIPESFeb 8

Peanut butter and oats are perfect combination. I like the crunchiness of the oats and smoothness of the peanut butter.

You can also put icing such as cream cheese or just a drizzle of dark chocolate ganache.

For the chocolate ganache, please check my recipe https://filcanbites.com/chocolate-ganache/
