PREPARATION: Line a 8"x8" tray with baking parchment. Combine dry ingredients in a medium size bowl and mix well. Add peanut butter and mix - the mixture will be crumbly and dry like breadcrumbs. Add water & vanilla. Using a wooden spoon or rubber spatula, mix everything until a dough forms. The dough will be sticky. Spread dough into pan using the wooden spoon or spatula, get another piece of baking parchment and cover the mixture you can know press it down to the corners of the tray. Refrigerate a few hours (or freeze for an hour) and cut into 9 squares. Wrap bars individually (use sandwich bags or plastic wrap) or store in covered container between sheets of wax paper. Keep refrigerated.

Store in a covered bowl in the pantry. It takes 1 minute and is VERY easy and cheap alternative to buying in the store. |
