Equipment

Ingredients

5 cups oats rolled or instant
4 tbsp ground flax
2 cups smooth peanut butter or nut butter of choice
1¼ cups maple syrup
⅔ cup mini chocolate chips dark, plant-based
⅔ cup freeze dried strawberries chopped
sprinkle salt to taste

Instructions

To a bowl, add the oats and flaxmeal, and stir until combined. Next, add the peanut butter and maple syrup. Stir until a thick "batter" is formed.
Gently stir in the chocolate chips and freeze dried strawberries.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, and transfer the batter to it. Using the bottom of a mug or another pan, pat the batter down until completely firm and evenly dispersed in the pan.
Refrigerate for one hour to set. Once set, remove from the pan with the parchment paper, and slice into 24 pieces. Store the bars in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 5 days or longer.
