Ingredients

• 2 cups Rolled oats
• 1 cup Peanut butter (or any nut butter)
• 0.5 cup Honey (or maple syrup for a vegan option)
• 0.5 cup Chopped nuts (e.g., almonds, walnuts, or cashews)
• 0.25 cup Mini chocolate chips (optional)
• 2 tablespoons Chia seeds (optional, for added nutrition)
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, chopped nuts, mini chocolate chips (if using), chia seeds (if using), and salt. Stir well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.

Step 2

In a separate microwave-safe bowl or small saucepan, warm the peanut butter and honey (or maple syrup) until softened, about 20-30 seconds in the microwave or over low heat on the stove. Stir until smooth.

Step 3

Add the vanilla extract to the peanut butter and honey mixture, and then pour it over the dry ingredients in the mixing bowl.

Step 4

Using a spatula or clean hands, mix the ingredients thoroughly until the oats and nuts are evenly coated, and the mixture begins to stick together.

Step 5

Line an 8x8-inch pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal. Transfer the mixture to the pan and press it down firmly into an even layer. Alternatively, for ball-shaped snacks, roll tablespoon-sized portions of the mixture into balls using your hands.

Step 6

Refrigerate the bars or balls for 1-2 hours, or until they firm up.

Step 7

Once chilled, cut the mixture into 12 bars or enjoy the pre-formed balls. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
