Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup peanut butter
  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 1 egg (or 1/4 cup yogurt) * see notes
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 1 1/2 cups rolled oats
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 tablespoons ground flax meal (optional) ** see notes
  • Handful of mini chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350 and grease an 8x8 pan. I also like to line it with parchment for an easy removal. Set aside!
  • In a large bowl, combine the peanut butter, honey and egg. Mix until all combined and then add in the milk and mix again.
  • Add in the rolled oats, cocoa powder, ground flax meal (if using). Mix! Add in the chocolate chips (if using) and mix one more time.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake at 350 for 20 minutes, until set.
  • Let cool for 5 minutes and then you can start cutting into 12 squares and serve! I love to eat them warm and right out of the oven!
  • You can store in an airtight container for up to 2 days room temperature or up to 4 in the fridge. Enjoy!:)

Notes

* I have used both and egg and yogurt in this and both work great! It depends on your preference. If we are running low on eggs, I will use yogurt!
** I like to add in the ground flaxseed meal just for an extra dose of fiber! Feel free to leave out.
