  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips (mini or dark)
  • Pinch of salt

  3. Stir in nut butter, maple syrup, and vanilla until well combined.
  4. Fold in oats, cinnamon, salt, and chocolate chips until fully incorporated.
