Ingredients
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 1.5 cups rice cereal
- 1 cup natural peanut butter
- 0.5 cup honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup mini dark chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- 2 tablespoons ground flaxseed
- 0.25 teaspoon sea salt
Directions
Step 1
Line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easier removal later. Set it aside.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, rice cereal, chia seeds, ground flaxseed, and sea salt. Stir until evenly mixed.
Step 3
In a small saucepan, gently heat the peanut butter and honey over low heat, stirring frequently, until just melted and well combined. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Step 4
Pour the peanut butter and honey mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Use a spatula to mix everything together until all the dry ingredients are coated and the mixture becomes sticky.
Step 5
Allow the mixture to cool slightly before gently folding in the mini dark chocolate chips. This ensures the chocolate chips don’t melt too much.
Step 6
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish. Use a piece of parchment paper or the back of a spatula to press down firmly, creating an even, compact layer.
Step 7
Refrigerate the dish for at least 1 hour or until the mixture is firm and set.
Step 8
Once set, use the overhanging parchment paper to lift the bars out of the dish. Place on a cutting board and cut into 16 even squares or rectangles.
Step 9
Store the bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or freeze for longer storage.
