Ingredients
- 1 cup Rolled Oats
- 1/2 cup Peanut Butter
- 1/4 cup Honey
- 2 tablespoons Chia Seeds
- 1/4 cup Chocolate Chips
- 1/2 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
Get Started
In a medium bowl, combine the rolled oats, peanut butter, honey, chia seeds, and vanilla extract.
Mix Well
Mix all ingredients thoroughly until well combined. The mixture should be sticky.
Add Chocolate Chips
Fold in the chocolate chips, distributing them evenly throughout the mixture.
Press into Pan
Line a small square or rectangular baking pan (approximately 8x8 inches) with parchment paper. Press the mixture firmly and evenly into the pan. Use your hands or the back of a spoon to ensure it's compact.
Chill
Place the pan in the refrigerator and chill for at least 30 minutes to allow the bars to firm up. This will make them easier to cut.
Cut & Serve
Once chilled, remove the bars from the pan using the parchment paper. Cut into 8-10 bars. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
