Ingredients:

  • 3 cups (270g) Old Fashioned Rolled Oats
  • 1 cup (250g) Natural Creamy Peanut Butter
  • 1/2 cup (170g) Honey
  • 2 Large Eggs
  • 1/2 cup (90g) Dark Chocolate Chips
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) Unsweetened Almond Milk
  • 1 tsp Baking Powder
  • 1/2 tsp Sea Salt
  • 1 tsp Cinnamon
  • 1 tsp Pure Vanilla Extract

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven. Set it to 175°C and line your square pan with parchment paper. Note: Leave an overhang on the sides to act as handles later.
  2. In your large bowl, combine 1 cup natural peanut butter, 1/2 cup honey, 2 eggs, 1/4 cup almond milk, and 1 tsp vanilla. Stir until the mixture is silky and completely smooth.
  3. Add the aromatics. Stir in 1 tsp cinnamon and 1/2 tsp sea salt. Wait until the aroma hits you before moving on.
  4. Incorporate the dry base. Fold in 3 cups old fashioned oats and 1 tsp baking powder. Mix until no dry oat patches remain.
  5. Fold in the chocolate. Gently stir in 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips. Note: Don't overmix or the chocolate might start to melt from the friction.
  6. Transfer to the pan. Pour the batter into your prepared pan and press it down firmly. Spread it into the corners until the surface is level.
  7. Bake the bars. Place in the center of the oven for 20 minutes. Bake until the edges are golden and the center feels set to the touch.
  8. The critical cooling phase. Let the pan sit on a wire rack for at least 15 minutes. Wait until the pan is cool enough to handle before lifting the parchment.
  9. Slice and serve. Use a sharp knife to cut into 12 even squares. Enjoy the way the chocolate chips still have a slight melt to them.
