Ingredients
2 cups old-fashioned oats
½ cup nut butter (peanut or almond)
⅓ cup honey or maple syrup
1 egg
½ tsp cinnamon
¼ tsp salt
Optional: chocolate chips, raisins, chopped nuts

Preheat oven to 350°F and line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, mix all ingredients until well combined.
Press the mixture evenly into the prepared dish.
Bake for 20–25 minutes, until edges are golden brown.
Let cool completely before slicing into bars.
Notes
For a vegan version, substitute the egg with a flaxseed egg (1 tbsp flaxseed meal + 3 tbsp water).
For a low-sugar option, you can swap honey for mashed banana or date paste.
