Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 1 cup honey
- 1 cup ground flaxseed
- 0.5 cup chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine rolled oats, ground flaxseed, and sea salt. Stir well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
In a microwave-safe bowl or a small saucepan, gently melt the peanut butter and honey together until smooth. This should take about 30-60 seconds in the microwave or 2-3 minutes on low heat. Stir thoroughly.
Add the vanilla extract to the melted peanut butter and honey mixture, and stir to combine.
Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients in the mixing bowl. Use a spatula or wooden spoon to mix until fully combined and the texture is uniform.
Fold in the chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the sides for easy removal. Transfer the mixture into the pan and press it down firmly using the back of a spatula or your hands to create an even, compact layer.
Refrigerate the pan for at least 1-2 hours, or until the mixture is firm enough to cut into bars.
Once chilled, remove the block of energy bars from the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Place it on a cutting board and slice into 12 evenly sized bars.
Store the energy bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or in the freezer for up to 1 month.
