Delicious homemade granola bars packed with oats, peanut butter, and optional add-ins for a healthy snack.

3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats (use verified gluten-free, if needed)
1/3 cup honey or maple syrup (both work well and taste great but honey helps hold the bars together better)
1/2 cup mini chocolate chips (optional)
2 whole eggs (use flax egg for vegan-friendly)

pinch salt (omit if peanut butter is salted)
as desired walnuts, pecans, almonds, chia, sunflower, or pumpkin seeds, or dried fruit

Preheat oven to 350℉ (175℃).
Mix all ingredients in a large bowl; heat peanut butter if solid.
Line a 9x9 inch (23x23 cm) pan with parchment paper and press mixture firmly into it.
Sprinkle chocolate chips on top and press them in; bake for 15-17 minutes.
Cool completely before cutting into 16 bars.

Press bars firmly for better sticking; cool completely before cutting.
