Ingredients
  

1 cup rolled oats

1/2 cup natural peanut butter (or any nut butter)

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup

1/4 cup cocoa powder

1/4 cup chocolate chips (optional)

1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Pinch of salt

Instructions
 

In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, cocoa powder, and a pinch of salt. Mix well.

    In a separate microwave-safe bowl, combine peanut butter and honey (or maple syrup), and microwave for about 20-30 seconds until slightly warm and easier to mix. Stir to combine.

      Add the vanilla extract to the peanut butter mixture and stir until smooth.

        Pour the peanut butter mixture into the bowl with the oats and add chocolate chips if using. Mix everything together until all the oats are well coated.

          Line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, allowing some overhang for easy removal later.

            Transfer the oat mixture into the prepared dish, pressing it down firmly in an even layer. You can use another piece of parchment paper to help press it down without it sticking.

              Refrigerate the bars for at least 1-2 hours until they are firm.

                Once set, remove from the dish using the parchment overhang and cut into squares or bars of your desired size.
