Ingredients
- ½ cup creamy unsalted peanut butter
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 cups quick oats
- ¼ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- Pinch of salt (omit if peanut butter is salted)

- Cover the bottom and the sides of an 8x8 baking pan/container with a piece of plastic wrap.
- Move the mixture into the prepared container, using your hands to press down firmly until flat.
- Press extra chocolate chips into the top as desired and freeze for 4 hours.

- Wrap bars in plastic wrap. Store granola bars wrapped in plastic wrap for up to 3 months in the freezer or up to 2 weeks in the fridge.
Notes
These bars will fall apart if you skip the step of pressing down firmly to make sure everything sticks together.
Substitute any nuts, seeds, or dried fruit into this recipe for a total of ¼ cup instead of chocolate chips.
If you don't have quick oats, you can pulse rolled oats in a food processor or use a knife to coarsely chop them before proceeding with the recipe.
