Ingredients

Oat Layer

2 cup Quick Oats gluten-free if needed

0.5 cup Creamy Peanut Butter

0.333 cup Honey

1 teaspoon Vanilla

Chocolate Layer

0.5 cup Semi-sweet Chocolate Chips

0.333 cup Creamy Peanut Butter extra for drizzling

2 - 3 tablespoon Mini Chocolate Chips for topping

Equipment

Parchment paper

Medium mixing bowl

Microwave

Microwave-safe bowl

Refrigerator

Mixing spoon

8x8 inch baking pan

Instructions

Line an 8x8" baking pan with parchment paper.

In a medium bowl mix oats, 1/2 cup peanut butter, honey and vanilla extract. Stir together until fully combined.

Add 1 ½ cups of the oat mixture into the bottom of the prepared dish. Press the mixture down firmly in an even layer. Make sure it's pressed down firmly and is very compacted to set the layer.

Next, make the chocolate layer. Add 1/3 cup peanut butter and chocolate chips to a microwave-safe bowl and then microwave in 20-30 second intervals, stirring in between until the chocolate chips have melted. Stir the mixture until chocolate and peanut butter is fully mixed.

Pour chocolate mixture evenly over oat mixture.

Crumble remaining oat mixture evenly over the top (the chocolate will peek through). Drizzle with extra melted peanut butter and sprinkle with mini chocolate chips.

Refrigerate for at least 2-3 hours before cutting into 12 even bars. Refrigerate or freeze remaining bars. NOTE: You can also slice into 16 small squares or 9 squares for a bigger bar.
