Ingredients

For this simple recipe, you’ll need just a handful of ingredients:

1 cup rolled oats
1/2 cup unsweetened nut butter (peanut, almond, or cashew work well)
1/4 cup honey or maple syrup (acts as a natural sweetener)
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (optional for a chocolatey twist)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
A pinch of salt
Optional mix-ins: chopped nuts, dried fruits, or shredded coconut

Step-by-Step Method

Step 1: Prepare Your Workspace

Line a small tray or plate with parchment paper. This will prevent sticking and make it easy to set your treats later.

Step 2: Mix the Wet Ingredients

In a medium-sized bowl, combine your nut butter, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth and creamy. If your nut butter is very thick, you can microwave it for 10–15 seconds to make it easier to mix.
