Ingredients
  

2 cups rolled oats

1 cup creamy peanut butter (or almond butter)

1/2 cup honey or maple syrup

1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

2 tablespoons instant coffee or espresso powder

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup dark chocolate chips (optional)

1/4 cup chopped nuts (walnuts or almonds, optional)

1/4 cup shredded coconut (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Pan: Line an 8x8 inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang to make it easier to remove the bars later.

    Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, cocoa powder, instant coffee powder, and salt. Mix evenly to ensure the coffee and cocoa are well distributed among the oats.

      Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate microwave-safe bowl, combine the peanut butter and honey. Microwave for about 20-30 seconds to soften, then stir in the vanilla extract.

        Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet mixture over the dry oat mixture. Stir until everything is well combined.

          Add Extras: If desired, fold in chocolate chips, nuts, or shredded coconut to add extra texture and flavor to your bars.

            Press into the Pan: Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Using a spatula or your hands (lightly greased), press the mixture down firmly into an even layer.

              Chill: Place the dish in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or until the bars are firm and set.

                Cut and Serve: Once set, lift the bars out of the dish using the parchment paper overhang. Cut into squares or rectangles as desired and enjoy!
