Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare an 8x8 or 9x9-inch baking dish by lining it with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the natural peanut butter, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
  3. In another bowl, combine the rolled oats, baking soda, and salt, including optional chocolate chunks or chopped nuts if using.
  4. Gradually add the dry mixture to your creamy wet ingredients and stir until a thick batter forms.
  5. Transfer the batter to the lined baking dish, pressing it down firmly and evenly.
  6. Bake for 20-25 minutes, looking for golden brown edges and a slightly soft center.
  7. Allow the bars to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before lifting them out using the parchment paper to cool completely.
