1 1/2cupswhite sugar
1cupalmond butteror peanut butter; not natural, it's too dry
1/4cupmilkalmond milk works
1/2teaspoonmaple flavor
3cupsold fashioned rolled oats
Instructions
Prepare an 8x8 or 9x9-inch baking dish by lining it with foil or parchment paper then greasing it. Measure out the maple flavor and oats so they are ready to add quickly.
In a medium pan, bring the butter, sugar, almond butter, and milk to a boil over medium high heat. Stir frequently. Bring the mix to a full boil for one minute, stirring constantly, and then removed from the heat and stir in maple extract. Immediately add the oats and stir thoroughly to coat everything.
Glop the mixture into the baking dish. Cool at room temperature and then chill in fridge for several hours until it is firm.
Use the foil or parchment to lift out the bars for easy cutting. Best served chilled.
