3 cups Oats
3/4 cup Peanut Butter
1/3 cup Honey
1/2 cup Mini Chocolate Chips
2 eggs
1/4 tsp Salt
Optional: 1 tbsp chia seeds, 1 tbsp hemp hearts, dried fruit, chopped nuts.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F & line a 9x9 baking dish with parchment paper.
Add the peanut butter to a large microwave safe bowl. Microwave for 10-15 seconds to make the peanut butter more drizzly, but to runny.
to the peanut butter, add the rest of the ingredients (besides chocolate chips).
Transfer the mixture into the baking dish and press down very firmly into an even layer in the pan.
Add the chocolate chips on top and push them into the bars.
Bake for 15 minutes or until edges start to turn golden brown.

You can use maple syrup insread of honey, but the bars may not stick together as well.
