Ingredients
  

For the Base
  • 2 cups Rolled Oats Essential for chewiness and structure; quick oats can be used but may alter texture.
  • 1/2 cup Natural Peanut Butter Creamy and rich, providing healthy fats; substitute with almond or cashew butter for nut allergies.
  • 1/2 cup Maple Syrup Sweetens while keeping the bars moist; agave syrup offers a great vegan alternative.
For the Flavor
  • 1/2 cup Cocoa Powder Intensifies the chocolate flavor; use unsweetened for a less sweet result.
  • 1/2 cup Chocolate Chips Adds delightful chocolatey bites; dark chocolate chips can enhance richness.
  • 1 pinch Salt Balances and enhances flavors; a pinch is all you need.
Bonus Add-ins (optional)
  • 1/4 cup Flax Seeds Boosts nutritional value; an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids.
  • 1/4 cup Chia Seeds Adds fiber and crunch; perfect for a health kick.
  • 1/2 cup Dried Fruits Raisins or cranberries introduce a sweet and tangy twist to your bars.
