Instructions
- Prepare the Pan: Line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal later.
- Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the nut butter, honey (or maple syrup), cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir until smooth and well combined.
- Add the Oats: Gradually fold in the old-fashioned oats until they are fully coated with the chocolate mixture. Mix until everything is well combined.
- Transfer to the Pan: Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and press it down firmly with a spatula or your hands to create an even layer.
- Add Optional Toppings: If desired, sprinkle chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or shredded coconut over the top and gently press them into the mixture.
- Chill: Place the baking dish in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to allow the bars to set.
- Cut and Serve: Once set, remove the bars from the dish using the parchment paper overhang. Cut into squares or rectangles and enjoy!
Tips for Success
- Storage: Store the bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week, or freeze them for longer storage.
- Make It Your Own: Experiment with different nut butters or sweeteners to find the flavor combination you love best.
