For a richer flavor, use dark chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet. Add a pinch of sea salt to the chocolate layer to enhance the sweetness and create a more complex flavor profile. If you prefer a chewier bar, use old-fashioned rolled oats instead of quick-cooking oats. Store the bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to a week.

Dec 30, 2022I made these with almond butter instead of peanut butter, and they were still amazing! A great option for those with peanut allergies.
