Ingredients

2 cups quick cooking oats
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 egg
¾ cup any nut butter Almond peanut, or cashew butter are all great options. I use almond butter made with only almonds.
¾ cup pure maple syrup or honey I use pure maple syrup.
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
¾ cup dark chocolate or semi sweet chocolate chips
To top: flaky salt I use Maldon Sea Salt Flakes.

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Line an 8 x 8 baking dish with parchment paper.
In a large bowl stir together the oats and baking powder.
In a separate bowl whisk the egg. Then stir in the nut butter, pure maple syrup or honey, and vanilla.
Add wet ingredients to the bowl with the dry ingredients and stir until well combined. Stir in ½ cup of the chocolate chips.
Spread the mixture in the parchment paper lined baking dish. Press the remaining ¼ cup chocolate chips into the top of the bars.
Bake for 30 min. Remove from the oven and top with flaky salt immediately. Allow to cool completely before slicing into 9 squares. Enjoy or refrigerate to serve later!
