Gather Your Ingredients

Before you embark on your flavor journey, make sure you have all the necessary ingredients on hand. You'll need 2 cups of rolled oats, 1 cup of nut butter (we recommend almond or peanut), 1/2 cup of honey or maple syrup, 1/2 cup of your choice of mix-ins (chocolate chips, dried fruit, nuts, etc.), 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.

Prep Your Base

Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, nut butter, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix until all the ingredients are well combined and you have a sticky dough-like consistency.

Baking Time

Line a baking dish with parchment paper and spread each flavored oat mixture evenly, side by side, in the dish. Press down firmly to create a solid base for your bars. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the edges turn golden brown.

Chill and Enjoy

Once baked, let the bars cool completely in the dish before slicing them into bars or squares. For an extra level up, drizzle melted chocolate over the top of each flavor. Now it's time to enjoy the fruits of your flavor adventure!
