Ingredients
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter (or any nut butter of your choice)
- 1/2 cup honey or maple syrup
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips (semi-sweet or dark)
- 1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Begin by lining an 8×8 inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving a bit of an overhang on the sides for easy removal later.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, peanut butter, honey, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir until well combined.
- If you’re adding chocolate chips and nuts, fold them into the mixture until evenly distributed.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Using a spatula or your hands, press it down firmly and evenly into the dish.
- Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the bars to set.
- Once set, lift the mixture out of the dish using the parchment overhang and cut into bars or squares.
- Store the bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week (if they last that long!).
