Instructions

  1. Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the oats, peanut butter, honey, and chocolate chips. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly mixed and form a sticky, uniform dough.
  2. Press Into Pan: Transfer the mixture into a parchment-lined 8×8 inch pan. Use a spatula or your hands to press the mixture firmly and evenly into the pan, ensuring it is compressed well to hold together once chilled.

  • Press the mixture firmly into the pan to ensure bars hold together well after cutting.
  • Store bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
  • Optional: Add nuts, seeds, or dried fruit to customize your bars.
