Ingredients

1 c creamy peanut butter or nut butter of choice
5 T butter
⅓ c milk
¼ cup 100% pure maple syrup optional
2 tsp vanilla extract
1½ cup dark chocolate chips
pinch of sea salt
3¼ cup rolled oats regular or gluten free

Instructions

In a small sauce pan, combine peanut butter, maple, vanilla, milk, butter, and dark chocolate chips.
Heat at med-low heat stirring frequently until chocolate chips are melted.
Remove from heat and pour mixture over oats in a mixing bowl and stir to coat oats.
Press the mixture firmly into an 8x8inch square pan lined with parchment.
Chill for about 30 minutes to 1 hour to set.

Notes

Almond Butter works great as well as cashew butter. I haven't tried it with sunflower seed butter but I imagine that would be great as well.

All about that drizzle! These are great with a nice peanut butter drizzle! I think it makes them look extra fancy as well.

You can spoon these into cookies if preferred.
