1. Preheat oven to 350º. Spray an 8x8 pan with nonstick cooking spray (or, line it with parchment paper).

Use a spatula to scrape down the sides of the food processor and make sure everything gets incorporated. Add peanut butter and blend/process for a moment.
3. Pour mixture into a bowl (scraping down the sides of the food processor again, so you make sure you get everything), and add quick oats and chocolate chips. Stir until everything is evenly mixed together.
4. Spread mixture into the pan, and spread evenly with a spatula. Bake for 30 - 35 minutes. Remove and let fully cool, then cut into 12 bars. Store in an airtight container.
