Ingredients

• 2 cups Rolled oats
• 1 cup Peanut butter (creamy or chunky)
• 0.5 cup Honey
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup Dark chocolate chips
• 2 tablespoons Chia seeds (optional)
• 0.125 teaspoon Salt (optional, to taste)

Directions

Step 1

1. Line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal later.

Step 2

2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, dark chocolate chips, and chia seeds (if using). Stir to distribute evenly.

Step 3

3. In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine the peanut butter and honey. Microwave on high for 20-30 seconds, or until warm and easily mixable.

Step 4

4. Add the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt (if desired) into the warmed peanut butter and honey mixture. Stir until smooth and well combined.

Step 5

5. Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients in the large mixing bowl. Use a spatula or wooden spoon to mix thoroughly until all the oats are coated and the mixture comes together.

Step 6

6. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and press it down firmly using the back of a spatula or your hands. This step is important to ensure the bars hold together.

Step 7

7. Place the dish in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or until the mixture is firm and set.

Step 8

8. Once set, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the bars out of the dish. Place on a cutting board and slice into 12 equal-sized bars.

Step 9

9. Store the bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week, or freeze for longer storage.
