Instructions
- Combine the Base Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, stir together the peanut butter, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract until smooth.

- Chill the Mixture: Place the bowl in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes.

Notes
If the mixture feels too sticky, add more oats. If it’s too dry, add a splash of water or more peanut butter. Experiment with flavors by adding protein powder or cocoa powder!
