Instructions

In a blender, blend oats and peanuts until ground, it should resemble flour.
1 cup rolled oats, 1/2 cup lightly salted peanuts
Place mixture in a bowl and add peanut butter, honey, vanilla, coconut oil, chia seeds, and salt *if using any. Mix until it comes together into a "dough." *See note below.
1/2 cup melted creamy peanut butter, 2 Tablespoons honey, 1 Tablespoon coconut oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt *if using unsalted peanuts, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1 Tablespoon chia seeds
Add chocolate chips and mix until chocolate chips are evenly distributed.
1/2 cup mini chocolate chips

Notes

TIP: After you process the oats and flour, you can place all the ingredients (except for the chocolate chips) in a food processor, and pulse until it is smooth. Stir in the chocolate chips. This can be easier than trying to stir by hand!
