Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Peanut butter (smooth or crunchy)
- 0.5 cup Honey
- 2 cups Rolled oats
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 cup Chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
Line a 9x9-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal later.
In a medium saucepan set over low heat, combine the peanut butter and honey. Stir continuously until the mixture is smooth and well combined, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat.
Stir in the vanilla extract and salt until evenly incorporated.
Gradually add the rolled oats to the saucepan, stirring until all the oats are fully coated and mixed in. If using chocolate chips, carefully fold them in at this stage while the mixture is slightly cooled to prevent melting.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and press it down evenly using a spatula or the back of a spoon. Ensure the surface is smooth and compact.
Refrigerate the mixture for at least 2 hours, or until it is firm and set.
Lift the set mixture out of the dish using the parchment paper overhang. Cut into 12 square bars using a sharp knife.
Store the squares in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. Enjoy as a quick snack or breakfast bite!
