Here’s what you need to make these scrumptious bars:
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup peanut butter (or almond butter if you prefer)
- 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup chocolate chips (optional, but why not?)
- A pinch of salt

Instructions
- First things first, grab yourself a mixing bowl. Toss in the rolled oats, cocoa powder, and a pinch of salt. Mix it all up nice and well until they’re comin’ together.
- Next, add in that peanut butter and honey (or maple syrup). You can warm the peanut butter slightly if it’s a lil’ stiff, just makes it easier to mix. Stir everything together until the mixture is well combined.
- If you like that extra chocolate goodness, fold in the chocolate chips now. Trust me, it adds that extra layer of flavor that your taste buds will thank you for.
- Once it’s all mixed, line a baking dish with parchment paper. Spread the mixture evenly into the dish, pressing down hard to make sure it’s packed tight. This step is crucial, you want them bars to hold together.
- Pop it in the refrigerator for about an hour, allowing it to firm up. Patience is a virtue, but you’ll see it’ll be worth it!
- When they’re ready, slice them into squares or bars, however you like, and get ready to enjoy!
