Ingredients
Scale
- 240 g (2 cups) rolled oats
- 200 g (1 cup) smooth peanut butter
- 60 g (4 tbsp) honey
- 30 g (3 tbsp) ground flaxseed

Instructions
- Toast the oats (optional) by preheating a dry skillet over medium heat. Add rolled oats and toast, stirring constantly for 3–4 minutes. Remove and let cool.
