Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 0.5 cups honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 cups mini chocolate chips (optional)
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds (optional)
Instructions
Line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, ensuring the paper hangs over the sides for easy removal.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, creamy peanut butter, and honey.
Add the vanilla extract and stir the mixture until everything is well combined. The mixture should be sticky and hold together when pressed.
If using, fold in the mini chocolate chips and chia seeds for added texture and flavor.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish. Use a spatula or the back of a spoon to press the mixture firmly and evenly into the dish.
Refrigerate the dish for at least 1 hour to allow the bars to firm up.
Once set, lift the mixture out of the dish using the parchment paper and place it on a cutting board.
Slice into 12 evenly-sized bars.
Store the bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or in the freezer for longer storage.
