Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, measure out rolled oats, natural peanut butter, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Mix all the ingredients together until combined and sticky, about 2-3 minutes.
  2. Line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, ensuring it overhangs slightly for easy removal later.
  3. Pour the oat mixture into the lined baking pan, spreading it evenly and pressing down firmly to create a compact layer.
  4. If using chocolate, sprinkle dark chocolate chips evenly over the pressed mixture, gently pressing them in.
  5. Place the baking pan in the refrigerator and chill for at least 30 minutes.
  6. Once chilled, lift the mixture from the pan using the parchment paper and slice into squares.
