Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Rolled oats
- 1 cup Peanut butter
- 0.5 cup Honey
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Dark chocolate chips
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overlap on the sides for easy removal later.
In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the peanut butter and honey. Stir continuously until the mixture is smooth and well-combined, about 2-3 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and salt.
Add the rolled oats to the saucepan and mix thoroughly until all the oats are coated with the peanut butter mixture.
Let the mixture cool slightly and then fold in the dark chocolate chips, reserving a few for sprinkling on top.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and press it evenly into the pan using a spatula or the back of a spoon.
Sprinkle the reserved chocolate chips on top and press them slightly into the mixture.
Refrigerate the bars for at least 1 hour, or until firm.
Once set, lift the bars out of the pan using the parchment paper, and cut them into 12 squares or rectangles using a sharp knife.
Store the bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or freeze for longer storage.
