  • 0.5 cup (170g) honey or pure maple syrup
  • 1 tsp (4g) pure vanilla extract
  • 0.5 tsp (3g) sea salt
  • 0.5 cup (90g) mini semi-sweet chocolate chips

  3. Add 1 cup creamy peanut butter, 0.5 cup honey, and 1 tsp vanilla extract to the center of the dry mixture.
  4. Fold the wet ingredients into the dry until no streaks of honey or dry oat patches remain.
