Ingredients
- 1 cup of creamy peanut butter
- 1/2 cup of honey or maple syrup
- 2 cups of rolled oats
- 1/4 cup of brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt
- 1/2 cup of chocolate chips (optional, but why not?)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grab a baking dish and line it with parchment paper. This will make it easy to lift out those delicious bars later.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine your peanut butter and honey (or maple syrup). Stir until it’s smooth and well mixed.
- Next, add in the rolled oats, brown sugar, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix it all up until the oats are evenly coated and everything is combined.
- If you’re feeling a little extra, toss in some chocolate chips and stir them in!
- Now, pour your mixture into the prepared baking dish. Press it down into an even layer. You want it to be nice and compact.
- Pop it in the oven for about 20-25 minutes, until the edges are slightly golden brown. Your kitchen is going to smell heavenly!
- Once they’re done baking, remove them from the oven and let them cool in the pan. Once they’re cool, lift them out with the parchment paper and cut them into bars.
