Dry Ingredients

1 cup rolled oats
1/4 cup white whole wheat flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
pinch of salt
1/3 cup mini chocolate chips

Wet Ingredients

2 large eggs
1 cup creamy peanut butter
1/2 cup maple syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350ºF and spray an 8x8 baking pan with non-stick cooking spray or line with parchment paper.
Next, add all of your dry ingredients to a bowl and mix well. Set aside.
In a separate bowl, whisk your eggs. Then add the rest of your wet ingredients to the eggs. Mix well.
Slowly add your dry ingredients to wet ingredients. When ingredients are well combined, pour dough into your baking pan. Spread evenly.
Bake at 350ºF for 15-18 minutes (depending on your oven) and how gooey you want your bars).

Tips & Notes

Option to sub any other drippy nut butter such as cashew or almond for the peanut butter.
Option to sub the white whole wheat flour for a gluten-free flour blend. We do not recommend subbing for coconut flour.
