Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Combine dry ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, add rolled oats and chia seeds or ground flaxseeds and stir together until evenly mixed.
  2. Incorporate nut butter and sweetener: Add peanut butter and honey or maple syrup and mix until a thick dough-like consistency forms.
  3. Add optional flavor variations: Fold in mini chocolate chips or chopped dried fruits, ensuring even distribution throughout the dough.
