Ingredients

• 1 cup creamy peanut butter
• 0.5 cup honey
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 cups old-fashioned oats
• 0.5 cup mini chocolate chips
• 0.25 teaspoon salt

Directions

Step 1

In a medium-sized microwave-safe bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter and honey.

Step 2

Microwave the mixture in 20-second increments, stirring well after each interval, until the peanut butter and honey are smoothly combined and slightly warm (this helps with mixing). Do not overheat.

Step 3

Stir in the vanilla extract and salt until fully incorporated.

Step 4

Add the old-fashioned oats to the peanut butter mixture and stir until the oats are evenly coated.

Step 5

Gently fold in the mini chocolate chips, making sure the mixture has cooled slightly so the chocolate chips do not melt.

Step 6

Using a small cookie scoop or a tablespoon, scoop out portions of the mixture and roll them into balls using your hands.

Step 7

Place the balls onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

Step 8

Once all of the mixture has been shaped into chews, refrigerate the tray for at least 1 hour to allow the chews to firm up.

Step 9

Store the Gooey Peanut Butter Chews in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
