Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine rolled oats, natural peanut butter, and honey (or maple syrup). Mix until cohesive and slightly sticky, about 2-3 minutes.
  2. Stir in vanilla extract and a pinch of salt, ensuring even distribution of flavor, about 1-2 minutes.
  3. Gently fold in dark chocolate chips if using, aiming for an even distribution, about 1-2 minutes.
  4. Line an 8x8 inch baking dish with parchment paper. Spoon the mixture into the dish and press down firmly to create an even layer, about 3-4 minutes.
  5. Place the dish in the refrigerator and allow to chill for at least 30 minutes.
  6. Once set, lift the parchment paper out and cut into squares or bars. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
