Ingredients

• 2 cups Old-fashioned rolled oats
• 0.75 cup Peanut butter (or almond butter)
• 0.5 cup Honey (or maple syrup for a vegan option)
• 0.33 cup Brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup Mini chocolate chips
• 0.5 cup Shredded coconut (sweetened or unsweetened, based on preference)
• 2 tablespoons Ground flaxseed (optional, for added nutrition)
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt

Directions

Step 1

Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the sides for easy removal later.

Step 2

In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the peanut butter, honey, and brown sugar. Microwave on high for 30 seconds, then stir until the mixture is smooth. (Alternatively, heat these ingredients gently in a saucepan on the stovetop until melted and combined.)

Step 3

Add vanilla extract to the melted mixture and stir to incorporate.

Step 4

In a separate large mixing bowl, combine the oats, shredded coconut, mini chocolate chips, ground flaxseed (if using), and salt. Toss until evenly mixed.

Step 5

Pour the melted peanut butter mixture over the oat mixture. Stir until all the dry ingredients are well coated.

Step 6

Transfer the mixture into the prepared pan. Use the back of a spatula or your hands (lightly greased to prevent sticking) to press the mixture firmly and evenly into the pan.

Step 7

Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or until the bars are firm and set.

Step 8

Once set, lift the bars out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Place on a cutting board and cut into 12 equal pieces.

Step 9

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