Servings: 16 bars
Ingredients
For the peanut butter base
- 1 ½ cups creamy peanut butter
- ½ cup maple syrup
- 1 ½ cups oat flour
For the chocolate topping
- 1 ½ cups chocolate chips
- ¼ cup creamy peanut butter

Instructions
- Line an 8×8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper with enough overhang on the sides. Set aside.
- To make the peanut butter base, place the peanut butter and maple syrup in a large bowl and microwave for 30–60 seconds. Stir until smooth. Add the oat flour and stir again until well combined. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking pan and press evenly into the pan.
- To make the chocolate topping, place the chocolate chips and peanut butter in a small bowl and microwave in 30-second intervals until melted. Stir until smooth. Pour over the peanut butter base and use a spatula to spread evenly. Sprinkle sea salt on top.

- Storage: Store the pb bars in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week.
- Freezing: Individually wrap the pb bars in plastic wrap, then place them in a freezer-safe bag. They'll last in the freezer for up to 3 months. Thaw in the fridge overnight.
