TOTAL TIME
1
Prepare a 8x8 inch square baking pan by lining it with parchment paper, allowing excess to overhang the sides for easy removal later.
2
In a saucepan, combine the smooth peanut butter, virgin coconut oil, and maple syrup. Heat over medium heat until everything is melted and well combined.
3
Turn off the heat and stir in the pure vanilla extract.
4
In a separate large mixing bowl, combine the quick cook oats, ground cinnamon, and fine sea salt.
5
Pour the peanut butter mixture into the oats mixture. Stir until the oats are evenly coated.
6
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking pan. Using a spatula, or the back of a flat spoon, press the mixture firmly into the pan, ensuring it is spread evenly. Refrigerate for at least two hours, or until firm.
7
Once the mixture is firm, use the overhanging parchment paper to lift the oats out of the baking pan.
8
Cut into squares. Store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
