Easy homemade granola bars made with peanut butter, honey, oats, sultanas and dried cherries. No-bake, naturally sweet, and perfect for lunchboxes or quick snacks.
Put the peanut butter and honey into a large bowl. Stir until combined. If the mixture is very stiff, add 2 tablespoons of water and stir again.
Add the oats, sultanas and cherries. Mix until combined.
Line a 24cm/9in square cake tin with baking parchment. Tip your mixture into the tin. Use another sheet of baking parchment to press the mixture down into the tin, making sure it reaches all of the edges and is even on top.
Put in the fridge and leave for an hour to chill.
Remove from the fridge and cut into slices to serve. Keep any leftover granola bars in the fridge.

Notes
Variations & Add-Ins
Once you’ve made these a few times, try changing them up:
Add chocolate chips for a sweet treat version.
Add chopped nuts (almonds, pistachios, hazelnuts) for crunch.
Make them tropical with dried mango and coconut.
Use maple syrup instead of honey for a vegan-friendly option.
Turn them into breakfast bars by adding a spoonful of chia seeds or flaxseed for extra fibre.
Storage & Freezing
Fridge: Store in an airtight container, layered with parchment, for up to 7 days.
Freezer: Freeze for up to 3 months. Defrost at room temperature before eating.
Tip: Wrap bars individually before freezing so you can grab just one when needed.
