Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Rolled oats
- 1 cup Creamy peanut butter
- 0.5 cup Honey
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 cup Mini chocolate chips (optional)
- 0.25 cup Chopped nuts (optional)
Instructions
Line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, letting the paper extend over the edges for easy removal later.
In a medium microwave-safe bowl, combine the peanut butter and honey.
Microwave the mixture on high for 20–30 seconds, just until softened and easy to mix.
Stir the mixture well, then add the vanilla extract and salt. Mix until smooth.
Add the rolled oats to the bowl and stir until fully coated and combined.
If using mini chocolate chips or chopped nuts, gently fold them into the mixture.
Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Use a spatula or your hands to press it firmly and evenly into the pan.
Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to let the bars set.
Once firm, lift the bars out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Place them on a cutting board.
Cut into 12 equal-sized bars or smaller pieces if preferred. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
