Ingredients
- 2 cups Rolled oats
- 1 cup Peanut butter
- 0.5 cup Honey
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Dark chocolate chips
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Directions
Step 1
Line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overlap on the sides for easy removal later.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the peanut butter and honey. Stir continuously until the mixture is smooth and well-combined, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 3
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and salt.
Step 4
Add the rolled oats to the saucepan and mix thoroughly until all the oats are coated with the peanut butter mixture.
Step 5
Let the mixture cool slightly and then fold in the dark chocolate chips, reserving a few for sprinkling on top.
Step 6
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and press it evenly into the pan using a spatula or the back of a spoon.
Step 7
Sprinkle the reserved chocolate chips on top and press them slightly into the mixture.
Step 8
Refrigerate the bars for at least 1 hour, or until firm.
Step 9
Once set, lift the bars out of the pan using the parchment paper, and cut them into 12 squares or rectangles using a sharp knife.
Step 10
Store the bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or freeze for longer storage.
