Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Rolled oats
- 1 cup Creamy peanut butter
- 0.5 cup Honey
- 0.5 cup Chopped peanuts
- 0.333 cup Mini chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons Chia seeds (optional)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, chopped peanuts, mini chocolate chips, and chia seeds (if using). Stir to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the peanut butter and honey. Microwave for 20-30 seconds until softened, then stir to combine into a smooth mixture.
Add the vanilla extract and salt to the peanut butter-honey mixture, stirring well.
Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients in the large mixing bowl. Mix thoroughly with a wooden spoon or spatula until all the dry ingredients are well coated.
Line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal later.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish. Press it firmly and evenly into the dish using a spatula or the back of a spoon.
Chill the mixture in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or until firm.
Once set, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the bars out of the dish. Place them on a cutting board and slice into 12 evenly-sized bars.
Store the bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week, or freeze for up to a month.
