Steps

Mix Ingredients

In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, roughly chopped peanuts, and salt. In a separate small saucepan, melt the coconut oil, then add the peanut butter, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth and well combined.

Combine & Press

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly until all the oats are coated. Then, fold in the chocolate chips. Press the mixture evenly into an 8x8 inch (20x20 cm) baking dish or pan lined with parchment paper. Use a spatula or your hands to compact it firmly.

Chill & Slice

Place the dish in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or until completely firm. Once hardened, lift it out using the parchment paper and cut into 12 equal bars. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Extra Tips

► Store the bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator to keep them fresh for up to a week.

► For a crispier texture, toast the rolled oats in a pan for a few minutes before adding them to the rest of the ingredients.

► Experiment with other nuts or dried fruits, such as almonds, cashews, or raisins, for variety.
