Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 1 cup natural peanut butter
- 1/2 cup honey or maple syrup
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup crispy rice cereal
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, peanut butter, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, and salt. Stir until well mixed and smooth.
- Gently fold in the chocolate chips and crispy rice cereal until evenly distributed.
- Line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and press it down firmly with a spatula or your hands to create an even layer.
- Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the bars to set.
- Once set, lift the bars out of the dish using the parchment paper and cut into squares or rectangles.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
Notes
- For a chocolate drizzle, melt an additional 1/4 cup of chocolate chips and drizzle over the top before refrigerating.
- Substitute almond butter or sunflower seed butter for a different flavor or to accommodate nut allergies.
