Ingredients
  

For the Base
  • 3/4 cup natural peanut butter Use natural peanut butter for the best flavor; can substitute with almond butter for a nut-free option.
  • 1/3 cup honey Agave syrup or maple syrup can be used as alternatives.
  • 1 1/2 cups rolled oats Ensure to use rolled oats; quick oats may yield a different texture.
For the Topping
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips Dark chocolate chips can be used for a less sweet option.
  • 1 tablespoon refined coconut oil Can be substituted with unsalted butter if preferred.
  • flaky sea salt Optional; omit if desired or substitute with coarse kosher salt.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Line a large loaf pan with parchment paper, allowing the paper to hang over the edges for easy removal later.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine peanut butter and honey. Stir together until smooth and creamy.
  3. Add rolled oats to the peanut butter and honey mixture. Mix thoroughly until the oats are fully coated.
  4. Transfer the oat mixture into the prepared loaf pan. Press the mixture evenly into the pan.
  5. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals until melted and smooth.
  6. Pour the melted chocolate over the pressed oat mixture and spread into an even layer.
  7. Sprinkle a pinch of flaky sea salt over the melted chocolate, if desired.
  8. Refrigerate the assembled bars for 2-3 hours or until the chocolate has fully set.
  9. Once set, lift the bars out of the pan using the overhanging parchment paper and slice into 12 equal bars.
