Ingredients
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 1 cup honey
- 1 cup ground flaxseed
- 0.5 cup chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon sea salt
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine rolled oats, ground flaxseed, and sea salt. Stir well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
Step 2
In a microwave-safe bowl or a small saucepan, gently melt the peanut butter and honey together until smooth. This should take about 30-60 seconds in the microwave or 2-3 minutes on low heat. Stir thoroughly.
Step 3
Add the vanilla extract to the melted peanut butter and honey mixture, and stir to combine.
Step 4
Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients in the mixing bowl. Use a spatula or wooden spoon to mix until fully combined and the texture is uniform.
Step 5
Fold in the chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Step 6
Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the sides for easy removal. Transfer the mixture into the pan and press it down firmly using the back of a spatula or your hands to create an even, compact layer.
Step 7
Refrigerate the pan for at least 1-2 hours, or until the mixture is firm enough to cut into bars.
Step 8
Once chilled, remove the block of energy bars from the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Place it on a cutting board and slice into 12 evenly sized bars.
Step 9
Store the energy bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or in the freezer for up to 1 month.
