Prep Time 5 minutes
Total Time 5 minutes
Yield 9 - 12 bars

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup peanut butter or allergy-friendly sub
  • 1/2 cup pure maple syrup, honey, or agave
  • 1/4 cup butter or coconut oil
  • 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 2 cups quick oats (Here's a keto version)
  • 1/4 cup cocoa powder

Instructions

  • Line an 8-inch square pan with parchment or wax. Set aside. Stir together the first three ingredients. Gently heat until the oil is melted and peanut butter is easily stir-able. Whisk in the vanilla extract and salt, stirring until completely smooth. Stir in the quick oats and cocoa powder until evenly coated. Smooth into the prepared pan, and press down with a spoon as hard as you can. Really pack it in. Freeze until firm enough to cut. Leftovers can stay out a few hours, but I like to keep them in the freezer for optimum freshness, where they last a few weeks.
