Ingredients

Units Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup creamy natural peanut butter
  • 1/3 cup honey or maple syrup
  • 2 cups rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds or flaxseeds (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Measure out all your ingredients and line an 8×8-inch pan with parchment paper for easy removal. This sets you up for smooth assembly.
  2. Combine Peanut Butter and Sweetener: In a microwave-safe bowl, gently warm the peanut butter and honey (or maple syrup) until smooth and pourable, stirring well to mix.
  3. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine rolled oats, mini chocolate chips, chia seeds (if using), vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt to evenly distribute everything.
  4. Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Pour the warm peanut butter mixture into the dry ingredients and use a spatula or wooden spoon to mix until fully coated and sticky.
  5. Press and Chill: Transfer the mixture to your prepared pan and press down firmly to create an even layer. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to set.
  6. Slice and Serve: Once firm, lift the bars out using the parchment paper, slice into squares or rectangles, and enjoy immediately or pack for later.

Notes

  • Use natural peanut butter without added sugar for a cleaner, healthier taste.
  • Press the mixture firmly into the pan to prevent crumbly bars.
  • Taste the mixture before chilling; add more honey or syrup if you prefer sweeter bars.
  • Store bars in an airtight container to keep them fresh and chewy.
  • For a nuttier flavor, toast the oats lightly before mixing.
